Why is Niseko snow so good?

So, why exactly is Niseko such a popular ski destination? Well, that's because of the consistency and quality of powder snow the region gets throughout winter. Niseko Ski Resort is located in the northern region of Japan nearby the city of Sapporo. This means that it receives plenty of snowfall. There is an average of 15 meters or more of snow each season, and Hokkaido sometimes receives double that amount. As a result, Ski Niseko's snow season runs from December all the way up to late April. 

Because of this consistent, high-quality snow throughout the season, Niseko Japan offers up some of the best alpine skiing in the world.

Niseko is ideal for skiers of all levels. There are terrains for beginners, intermediate, and expert skiers to enjoy.

If you're wondering why Niseko snow is so good, it's the japow factor. Japow stands for Japan powder snow, which is some of the best snow you'll find in the world.

Powder snow makes for enjoyable winter sports holidays in Japan that are great value for money when compared to similar experiences at European or American ski resorts.
