29/01 - 06/02/2011: Sushi Powder Japan Niseko II
Price: 1,390 EUR
Niseko, that’s first class powder skiing. The cosy mountain village is settled in one of the most snowy regions on earth. In the months between December and April the annual snow fall is between 16 and 18 metres. A micro climate is reponsible for almost daily fresh and light powder. Humid air masses from the surrounding ocean meet with cold continental air masses. This is an ideal combination that is not seen very often worldwide. On the Niseko mountain we have three skiing areas combined: Anapuri, Higashiyama and Grand Hirafu. Almost endless are the possibilities of incredible tree skiing through light birch trees and on the open spaces of the wide volcanoe. A fast lift system gives you the possibility to ski 10,000 verticals in a day easily. Very often our morning tracks are covered in fresh snow again after having a great Japanese lunch. So be prepared: you will not only need fat skis in Niseko but also a good pair of goggles to guarantee your visibility. Niseko is definitely not a place for sun seekers, but powder seekers will start loving it from the first day.
