WELCOME TO POWDER HEAVEN
“SkiJapan.com specialises in snow holiday packages to Japan – where powder
dreams are made”. Inside this brochure for the 2008-09 season you’ll find a wealth of
information about our unbeatable packages and the many ways to enjoy a Japan
snow holiday.
Since 1996 I have said that Japan offers the world’s best snow. In some resorts the
average snowfall is a staggering 14 metres a season of the lightest, driest powder snow
you’ll find on the planet.
A lot has been said about the wonderful culture of Japan; its people, food, traditions
and lifestyle. It is a unique snow holiday that I recommend every skier/boarder experience at least once, but I bet you’ll come back again and again. Mother Nature
reliably delivers the powder snow; let SkiJapan.com take care of everything else.
