I have been lucky to ski in a few different countries and guided people from around the world.  There is one thing which we all seem to agree on and that the powder here in Hokkaido is some of the lightest around.  I guess Utah has some pretty good days, but another great thing about this island is the dependable snowfall. 

We were host to Mountain Tracks this year.  It was their first trip to Japan, led by Nick Parks who has skied many different places.  Anyway, find out what he said here on the PlanetSki news site about where his best ski day was this season; http://www.planetski.eu/news/333
