The freshest, driest and deepest powder in the world!
Sapporo Japan, Tuesday January 10th – Thursday January 19th, 2012
Japan is roughly the size of California but it stretches the length from Mexico to Canada creating a huge diversity in climates. It has a population of 130 million people, but 80% of them live in five major cities, Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Hiroshima, and Sapporo. Japan is made up of more than 1000 islands but the four main islands are Kyushu, Shikoku, Honshu, and Hokkaido, the northernmost island. Over 80% of Japan is covered with mountains and it is possible to ski resorts as far south as Kyushu! In its heyday there were more than 700 resorts but that number is quickly dropping year after year as the Japanese recession continues (most of them were one lift ponies anyway).
Although Hokkaido is surrounded by water and the base of many of the resorts are only a few hundred meters above sea level, it produces some of the lightest and driest snow found anywhere on the planet. The reason for this is that Hokkaido is the first island that gets hit by the cold Siberian storms as the move eastward towards North America. Whistler just got dumped on you say? You mean they got our leftovers form last week!
The quality of the snow will shock you and averages of 15 meters a year will all but guarantee you get the goods. Unlike other big snow areas where the snow comes in big dump cycles, dumps a meter and then won’t snow for a week, in Niseko it just doesn’t stop snowing and snowing and snowing.
This will be our first trip to Japan, and there is a limit of 15 participants and 3 staff for this January.
The Japan package includes the following:
- All ground transportation requirements
- 8 nights accommodation at the Pension Brook hotel
- Shared occupancy accommodation
- 6 days skiing at three different resorts in Niseko
- Breakfast and dinner every day
- Lift passes every day
- Guiding & lessons from Canada’s best Level 4’s

Thanks and I hope to ski with you in Japan!
