Japan — If you’re eyeing a Japanese powder skiing trip, the time to look for flights is right about now. Flights tend to be cheaper for Japan during the summer, and putting all the logistics together further out is also helpful.
While Niseko gets all the hype for its powder skiing, that also means it can get crowded. Other ski areas, like those near the city of Nagano, provide memorable options for skiers and riders.
In a video analysis by The Slippery Slope, he analyzes what the best ski resorts are near the city of Nagano. The video isn’t exactly a ranking, but rather a bucket list for foreign travellers who want to experience the best powder skiing. His picks include Hakuba, Seki Onsen, Myoko Kogen, Lotte Arai, Shiga Kogen, Madarao, and Nozawa Onsen. These destinations featured great snow quality, varied terrain, and excellent food.
