A lot of people look forward to the summer time when we could bathe under the sun and wear light clothing. However, in cold places, there is something that people look forward to for entertainment and those seeking for a rush of adrenaline amidst the cold-skiing.
With all the places available which are covered with snow during winter season, Japan, especially the northern part is considered by snowboarders and skiers alike as a one of the favorites, if not the best country for skiing. There are over 500 ski resorts across Japan that offers different types of terrain and powdery snow that results to deep snow covering on the slopes. What makes this seemingly stable supply of powdery white snow almost constantly throughout is the storm cycles from neighboring Siberia.
Among all Ski resorts in Japan, Niseko Ski Resort is considered to be the best ski resort, which is located in Hokkaido. It is considered to have the best ski terrain fit for all skiers of all capabilities, ranging from beginners to professionals. This resort also offers various runs for all levels as well given that it is the largest ski resort in Japan. There is a lot that this resort has to offer. One of the things that sets it apart from all other ski resorts in Japan is that it offers both alpine and tree skiing.
However, this place is not conducive to skiers who prefer to enjoy skiing and the sun at the same time because the weather is cold and the place rarely sees the sunshine. But, no need to fuss because the resort also makes sure that it is still enjoyable to ski with the cold weather by providing gondolas and hooded chairs.
Another popular place for ski patrons is Kagura Ski Resort. This resort was chosen as the best resort for novices because of its beginner terrain. Skiers could cruise from one end to another at their own choice. Despite the reputation of the resort as beginner friendly, it is still frequented by experienced skiers because of back country opportunities, off piste, and a relaxed tree skiing.
Connected to Kagura is Naeba Ski Resort which offers 20 courses and 21 lifts. It is well renowned for its structure, with terrain parks for adults and children as well, a snow cross course, a snow land for families, and an indoor ski area for children. A number of regulations were established in this resort in the past; however, it has mellowed down over the years, but you still have to be discrete still. It is notable that this resort has an impressive lift system as well aside from the infrastructure.
Geto Kogen Ski Resort is known for its brutal weather, characterized by heavy snow which can be at 7 meters. It is highly advisable to have a guided tour in this resort so that the guides can keep watch on the weather and also the guides can give you a drive to the resort. Since the weather is very vicious on some occasions,
one or two day visit in the resort would already be sufficient. Moreover, the resort is medium sized and has a few lifts, specifically five, compared to other ski resorts in Japan. But, it must not be underestimated because it provides an avenue of challenging ski experience with a night skiing available as well.
These are just a few of the wide array of choices a ski enthusiast could find in the best country to ski, which is Japan. When one would look further, for certain he or she will be able to find a resort that would best suit his or her needs and wants as a customer.
