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.

Kamonohashi the Mountain Warrior of Niseko

Kamonohashi is a very brave and talented Tasmanian platypus; these distinct mammals are unique to Australia.

At a very young age, after learning about the warriors of Japan, Kamonohashi decided that this was his path and the way to fulfill his dream of becoming a guardian of nature. After saying goodbye to his family in Australia, Kamo took the long journey to Japan to begin his martial arts study and training.

Years of dedication and preparation made him a fine example of a great warrior. On completion of his studies; Kamo was presented with a magic staff in recognition of his excellence and his future responsibility of protecting nature. He was sent to Niseko to oversee the mountains, the animals and the children that play there. This is how he came to love the beautiful white winters and develop his skills to become an amazing skier and snowboarder.
