		<description><![CDATA[It won`t take long during your visit to Geto Kogen Snow Resort in Iwate prefecture to recognize that you will be entering relatively uncharted Japan snowtrip territory. The mountain vistas from the ski area summit are spectacular, while the rural surroundings in the valley offer authentic opportunities for Japanese cultural immersion with interesting museums, historic [&#038;hellip]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With more and more powder junkies infiltrating Japan`s Northern Island each season, strict no-ride off-piste policies are beginning to change. One of Central Hokkaido`s premier ski resorts, Furano, has taken giant leaps forward by installing off-piste gate-access zones much like its rival pow-hound haven to the northwest, Niseko. But as the linked Niseko United powder paradises around [&#038;hellip]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While most skiers &#38; snowboarders from overseas head West from JR Sapporo Station toward Niseko, a short two hour rail-ride to Shintoku Town in the opposite direction drops you near one of Central Hokkaido`s deep, dry powder zones at Sahoro Resort. Although not expansive enough (or lively enough off the slopes) for serious snow sliders [&#038;hellip]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most lift-accessed terrain at Hokkaido ski resorts is on the mellower-side even if labeled &#8220;advanced&#8221; on a trail map. Teine Highland isn`t exaggerating on its black-rated trails. Snow quality on comparative best days can`t rival resorts like Niseko, Rustusu or Kiroro, but you won`t have time to notice when confronted with the consequential cliffs, couloirs and [&#038;hellip]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Although lacking size and base area amenities, Asari delivers a great change of pace from the frantic powder frenzies that draw big crowds of deep snow junkies at more famous ski hills in the region. Sure, when storms are pummeling Niseko, Kiroro, Rusutsu, Teine Highland or Sapporo Kokusai, you`ll want to get your pow starved [&#038;hellip]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Although somewhat small and uneventful at first glance from the parking lot, Sapporo Kokusai actually rides a lot bigger, offers varied terrain and stacks up quite well against a lot of ski areas in Japan relative to vertical drop, trail length, steepness and trail rating percentages. Even as Sapporo`s largest ski area, Kokusai can`t quite [&#038;hellip]]></description>

Aside from vast topographic differences in riding terrain between Rusutsu and Niseko &#8212; far more trees than open faces &#8212; the visitor demographics also differ, leaning more toward mellow Japanese guests [&#038;hellip]]></description>

Nothing (if the cops ask), but all you need is one look at the Hilton Niseko Village hotel at the base of Niseko Village Ski Area and you`ll understand. Our affectionately named &#8220;Niseko Deathstar&#8221; is actually an award-winning,  futuristic-looking 4-star [&#038;hellip]]></description>

Niseko Annupuri, Niseko Hanazono has the smallest trail system, fewest lifts and some of the mellowest groomed terrain of all four Niseko United Resorts. Sounds like you should skip Hanazono and stick to the other three resorts right? By all means, please do&#8230;that`ll leave the hidden goodies for [&#038;hellip]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you have a few days to explore Nagano powder playground, Madarao Kogen, we recommend hopping across the interconnected trail boundary into Tangram Ski Circus for a half-day or full-day slide. Ironically, there`s really not much of a &#8220;circus&#8221; going on at Tangram. No big terrain park features&#8230;no giant pow lines&#8230;no multi-kilometer groomed trails&#8230;no merry-go-around&#8230; [&#038;hellip]]></description>
