Epic Powder in Japan Will Have You Drooling

July 17, 2015 Editor

Japan is home to some of the best powder on the planet. When cold air blows east off the Asian continent, it sucks up massive amounts of moisture as it flows over the Sea of Japan. When it impacts the high alpine of Japan’s northern island of Hokkaido, it unloads snow in the greatest example of “Lake Effect” precipitation of the planet. Those who’ve experienced this phenomenon will say, across the board, that Japan’s powder is phenomenal. The best on Earth.

While folks in Utah may disagree, the boys from SnowLocals have no qualms about it. Check out this edit of their visit to Rusutsu Resort and start planning your trip to the Orient today.
