Ski Japan
Possessing what is widely considered to be the world's best lift access snow, Japan is well on its way to becoming the ski capital of the world. Having hosted two winter Olympics in Sapporo (1972) and Nagano (1998), Japan is continuing to receive world acclaim for its consistently deep and light powder, aka Japow. Apart from its awesome powder, Japan also provides the best ski experience. In a land abounding with hot springs, excellent food and drink and a 5,000 year old culture, what could go wrong? If the snow doesn't have you coming back for more, Japan's culture, food and people surely will!
