Skiing in Niseko powder Japan

The Niseko area is known for some of the best off-piste powder skiing in the world. No other destination receives such consistently perfect powder. Niseko is a geographical magnet for weather systems delivering snow storms from the Siberian Peninsula and after filling with moisture on their way across the Sea of Japan these massive fronts collide and Hanazono in Niseko is the first place in their path dumping up to 16 metres of snow in a season... The water content of the snow is usually around 8% creating extremely light n fluffy powder snow.

Face shots all over the place. This cold front has delivered over a metre of fresh powder in the past 24hrs. Its time to grab the snorkel and get immersed in the white room. Top lifts were not open yesterday so there is so much deep untouched powder terrain out there.

Niseko : skiing Backcountry Powder

With a mere 8% water quantity, Niseko snow is always drier, providing some of the most exhilarating powder skiing and snowboarding experiences anywhere in the world. It is not unusual for guests to find themselves enveloped in snow, or as we say, "experiencing the White Room", as they bounce their way down the slopes.
