Ski Traveller has negotiated special ’ski package airfares’ that allow you to book your flights now and pay 60 days prior to departure. Ring Sarah 09 520 8334 or Lianne 09 520 8335 about booking your flights to Japan. Do not delay or you will miss out. Ski FuranoSunday, August 16th, 2009
Similar to its fellow ski resort Niseko, the light dry powder of Furano makes for a memorable ski holiday. The lack of wind makes this a family and beginners delight and the lifts are open from 8.30am until 9pm. There are stunning views of steaming volcanoes and the rural countryside making this one of the few resorts where you will see a blue sky day. Furano boasts Japan’s only Ski Host Programme which is staffed by English speaking locals. Playing host to 12 FIS ski and snowboard world cup events has honed the credentials of Furano Resort. There are two base areas with the Prince Hotel located on one side in a ski-in-ski-out location and the Kitanomine base that has pensions, some apartments and hotel style accommodation. Families will enjoy kid zone activities and there are plenty of day trips. They include dog sledding, ice fishing, kimono wearing, cheese making classes and ice village tours. In the evening there is a secluded adult hideaway, Soh’s Bar where you can wine and dine hidden the forest and a short walk from the new Furano Prince Hotel, otherwise it is just ten minutes by taxi or bus to the local town. Talk to Sarah she was in Furano last season. Ski NisekoSunday, August 16th, 2009
Niseko has it all. Incredible terrain spread across three mountain faces and four base areas. There is unbelievable light dry powder and challenging bowls to explore. The efficient lift system has covered chairs to allow you to ride in comfort, especially if you are into night skiing as Niskeo has the largest lit area in Japan. So try night skiing or Hokkaido Powder Guides can take you on guided backcountry trips on the back of Mt Annupuri. The variety of nightlife sparks in Hirafu village, with a selection of good restaurants such as the Abucha, where you can enjoy a delicious Suki Yaki hot pot, or Kamimura which is a Japanese fine dining restaurant. There are further dining alternatives in Kutchan and Annupuri. Accommodation in the area varies from ski lodges and pensions to luxury self catering apartments.

Notes: Ski holiday is based on two adults sharing accommodation. Wax your skis and boards and head to Niseko, Japan.Wednesday, April 29th, 2009Wanting to experince somewhere new - have you thought about Niseko,Japan?. Highlights of my recent visit here were amazing light powder, fabulous modern accommodation, unbelievable food,warm sake that puts you in the mood for karoke, efficient lifts and welcoming hospitality. Even at the top of the mountain the toliets had warm seats a plesant surprise for us boarders whom may spend some time sitting down. Niseko resort is Western enough to make your first visit to a Japanese Ski resort an easy transitition but still retains enough Japanese culture to not be completely spoilt. I had no problem with the language, I did’nt speak a word of Japanese before I went to Japan. Even in the middle of Tokyo station there was always someone who could speak English or wanted to pratice their English. If that failed the use of hand signals never fails and is always a source of entertainment. I have spent many seasons at ski resorts around the world.
