Like polar bears and penguins, skiers care a lot about the quality of snow, and more of them from China, Australia and elsewhere are coming to Japan in search of powder they can?t find back home.
Fluffy snow is everywhere in central Hokkaido, a valuable commodity in a country often lacking in natural resources.
With temperatures around minus-10 degrees celsius, and mountains protecting it from coastal winds, the broad valley around Furano in central Hokkaido, famous for lavender fields in summer, has some of the world?s best powder for skiing and snowboarding.
