Skiing Tips
Ski Kokusai Resort

One of my skiing tips

is to shred the awesome powder at Kokusai (International Ski Resort), one of the most popular ski areas located in the south of Sapporo Japan.

The reason for its popularity is that Kokusai has great wide open runs, superb snow, good access to hotsprings and easy access from Sapporo Japan.

In the spring time you can enjoy eating Genghis Khan (barbecued meat) out on the veranda whilst working on your goggle tan!
