Niseko PSO: Powder, Sushi, Onsen

February 9 - 16, 2011

Japan is the new powder skiing destination of the world!  It is the hidden jem of the East.  Hokkaido, the north island of Japan, is one of the snowiest places on earth.  The town and resort of Niseko receives 15 meters of snow during the winter months and boasts 4 major ski resorts.  The variety of terrain you can access both inbounds and through the gate system is limitless.

We will start this adventure with a visit to the world famous Sapporo Snow Festival.  This cultural event is a spectacular way to begin the trip and will blow you away.  Huge snow sculptures that have taken months to build provide jaw-dropping scenes.

Our accommodation, The Green Leaf Hotel, is a ski in/ski out hotel on the slopes of Niseko Village ski resort with its own hot springs and restaurant.

There is no better way to complete a day of powder skiing than with a hot soak in the onsen and excellent Japanese food.

Let Ross and Jill show you all that Niseko has to offer--the terrain, the hidden stashes, the hot springs and incredible eating locations--all delivered with exceptional Japanese service.

The legendary powder of Japan’s north island, Hokkaido, has been a well kept secret for some time now--but not anymore!

This trip combines the best of the best-- travelling inland to where the “angel dust” falls and where the skiing is mostly backcountry conditions.

International Mountain Adventures is offering you this backcountry powder skiing special in one of the snowiest places on earth.

Asahidake sits below Hokkaido’s tallest mountain and the ropeway, which is a 100-passenger tram, gives access to a wide variety of terrain.
