Many powder hunters flock to the northern island of Hokkaido each winter in search of spectacular deep powder, off-piste runs and challenging terrain. Hokkaido is the coldest and most northern Japanese island and receives some of the best snow there is. Probably the most popular resort in Hokkaido is Niseko, a resort that is fast becoming well-known with skiers and snowboarders throughout the world.

Niseko continues to grow at a fast pace and each year sees a larger percentage of foreigners (meaning non-Japanese!) on the slopes.  Expect to have no language problems if you are making your way to Niseko this season.
