I’ve enjoyed a number of trips to British Columbia Canada to Ski, yet it felt like it was time to try something new. Once hooked on the Okanagan Powder of the Rockies, it’s hard to accept anything less from a ski destination.
Niseko Japan, from Australia, strangely takes about as much transit time to visit, as BC Canada. A number of connecting flights followed by a few hours in a coach, find you at the quaint village of Upper Hirafu, 1 of 3 inter-joined resorts that circumvent that mountain.
Outlook off the first landing
The Japanese are so polite, and the food choices were fantastic, but it’s more about the significant powder.
I travelled in March, late in the season, but conditions were quite good.
Absolutely a bucket list item.
