24	Why Niseko? Increasing interest by Australian skiers. Australian investment in the Niseko area. More time-efficient for short-stay travel than either Europe or North America. Minimal time difference means almost no ‘jet-lag.’
25	Niseko Ski Season The ski season in northern Japan runs from mid-November through until May. Niseko has excellent snow conditions from Siberian winds picking up moisture crossing the Japan Sea, falling as powder snow on the North West coast of Japan.
26	Niseko Resort Details The resort area starts from an altitude close to sea-level and rises to 1200m, offering over 1000m in elevation 57 runs in total serviced by 38 ski lifts and gondolas, with 47 km of groomed runs Longest run is 5.6 km, there are also half-pipes, quarter-pipes, mogul fields and tree runs Mix of beginner, intermediate and advanced runs for skiers and boarders [30:40:30]
27	Isn’t Japan Expensive? Hokkaido, one of Japan’s northern islands, is regarded as ‘remote’ by most Japanese Prices in Niseko are generally lower than in Australian alpine resorts Lodge expenses are lower than leasehold in Australian alpine resorts
