Hokkaido, Japan

Bring your snorkel, water wings, a pair of the fattest skis you can find, and perhaps some XL sweatpants. Japan is all about culture with a capital C. Half the fun of a ski holiday here are the amazing experiences to be had sampling this incredible culture. The other half is shredding powder until you can’t take any more.  Hokkaido, Hakuba, and Tokyo are on the list.
