Hitting the slopes of Hokkaido

AFTER a year of planning, I finally made the trip to Hokkaido, not to savour its endless choice of seafood but to hit the famed powdered snow mountain of Niseko.

Standing tall at 1,308m is the Niseko Annupuri mountain, which comprises four notable resorts; Niseko Hanazono, Niseko Grand Hirafu, Niseko Village and Niseko Annupuri Ski, all linked together to form what is known today as Niseko United.
