Niseko Footage

Too for for me to go thanks

If I ever travel for skiing it will have to be to Japan. Probably to Hakuba rather than Niseko though as I heard it's steeper and also very easy to get to from Tokyo - I hate having to change flights and when travel not for business choose direct routes whenever they exist.

Flight to North Island or bullet train to Hakuba, it's still another journey from Toyko.

Interesting comments from VSB about steepness. Have to say looking at video it did appear that you would struggle to ski if the snow was much deeper. Japan is definitely on my list of to do but probably not that resort from looking at terrain. Tree spacing did however look amazing, confirming Europe probably got the worst deal of the major ski areas when that was dished out.

Video always flattens out the terrain to a degree, as the view is always looking down. Because we didn't have any deep snow we were always seeking out the places it had accumulated, ie the gullies and sheltered spots. There is plenty of areas which would be incredible in deep snow. Unfortunately with the fresh snow we had you were straight through to the crud/windblown underneath as soon as you got on the steeper bits.
