Ski at Niseko in Japan

“To start, the powder at all the resorts was crazy by Tahoe or Switzerland standards. Heaps and heaps of it everywhere and it was like dust. You just glided right through it. It was amazing. I'll compare the resorts below and say some places had more or less powder than others, but really, everywhere was powder! The mountain is pretty flat. My brother and I who ski blues and blacks in America comfortably had no issues anywhere in terms of steepness. Now this is just a theory, but I don't think they groom the pistes when it snows. If they do, they barely do. I mean everyone's there for the fresh powder anyways right?! It's just so much powder (I loved it, my brother thought it was a bit much but also enjoyed it). When it stopped snowing for a day, they groomed it like they would elsewhere. It snowed for 2 days, and was clear for 2 days while we were there. When it was snowing, you couldn't see even 15 meters in front of you, but it was alright because there are no cliffs and you can kinda go anywhere. You also don't need to worry about getting stuff in the snow because you just cut through the powder. Just relax and ski and its alright if its a white out.”
