WHY SKI JAPAN
For Australian's there are many advantages to skiing in Japan:Reliability - With climate change the ski seasons in Australia are becoming less reliable in terms of the arrival of the season, the quantity and the quality of the snow. The Japanese resorts have a much greater snow fall to start with, so any loss is much less noticeable.
Better Experience - The superior snow, better facilities in terms of lifts, higher levels of customer service and the added cultural experience.
Longer Japanese Ski Season - The ski season is longer in Japan because of the climate and geography of Japan. This means there is greater flexibility about when you take your ski trip.
Off Season Skiing - When there is no snow in Australia, there is a good chance it is the ski season in Japan. Snow enthusiasts can now ski in the Australian summer months.
Closer than Europe/USA/Canada - Japan is much closer to Australia in flying time (around 9 hours) and some resorts don't require a second internal flight. Japan is only one or two hours different to Sydney by time zone so you don't suffer from one the major factors of jet lag.
Combine Skiing with a Japan Tour - While you are in Japan you can take the opportunity to see some the unique sights and experience the Japanese culture.
