  • Want to know why Niseko is Japan's best ski resort? In this video I'll show you around the Niseko Japan ski resort as I ski all 4 sides of the Niseko mountain in just 1 day! Starting my day from Hirafu, Niseko I'll venture to Annupuri then Niseko Village before heading back over to Hanazono to see some of the renowned powder snow! I have spent a lot of time in Niseko and I can comfortably say that Niseko is Japan's best ski resort! If you're planning on heading to Niseko for a Japanese ski trip make sure to watch the entire video!

    Worked for Hanazono in Niseko from 2004 to 2011. Great spot especially the peak. Sadly now it's expensive and get's skied out very quickly. So many other great cheaper resorts in Hokkaido that are worth visiting.

  • @pureflip
    @pureflip Před 3 měsíci

    awesome video - i really enjoyed skiing in Niseko but I didn't enjoy the very western (& really really expensive) village. much prefer the sleepy villages in myoko, nozawa onsen, madarao. much better value for money and nicer Japanese food.
    Rusutsu I thought was a top quality mountain too.
    But for the prices you pay for everything in niseko village - would rather head to US/Canada

  • @stevenpelayo9418
    @stevenpelayo9418 Před 3 měsíci

    You missed the POW? They usually have a consistent dump of DRY powder every night. And if the top of the mountain is closed for a day or two, you can get into some deep stuff...
