the powder runs at niseko as shown in the video are tracked out quickly, even the secret ones take less than half day, probably due to the large amounts of powder hungry foreign + japanese ski bums teaching skiing/snowboarding. bonus is that you got shitloads of days with freshies and if you get first chair, powder fantasies go bonkers, probably even better than at mt baker, washington, usa due to lighter powder. place to go!
Yeah not as steep as some resorts. But with the 2nd highest snowfall out of any resort in the world if it was any steeper? there would be 2 many Avalanches.
One of the American universities has done a research of the global temperature of the resorts across the board and Hokkaido came in 1st. The consistency of -10 degrees celcius is highest in Hokkaido so the days you get powder is more than anywhere else.
It's true, indeed, that most runs are shorter and they are for beginners to intermediate, but the quality of snow is the best as far as I know. I missed snow very much. I like this video, by the way.
Well most of the best skiing in Niseko is backcountry and worth the effort to climb the peak and drop off the East face. There you will get 1000 metres of pure pow.
I skied Hokkaido when I lived in Japan, and it is true the powder is lovely. But the resorts are 75% beginner runs. They seem very safety oriented, plus the mountains just aren't very high. But the video looks great and brought back fond memories, thanks1
probably around 80% of the time.... It has the 2nd highest snowfall out of any resort.. With the powder conatining around 7% water... Go backside of the peak and u can get some deep fresh POW... :)
Thumb up if you go to this region this winter.
