Powder Skiing in Rusutsu, Japan

17 July, 2015 Rupert Orchard

​Rusutsu is within a 30 minute drive from Niseko and is home to similar world-class snow and terrain that Niseko has become famous for.

Perfect for a day trip away and a change of scenery. If you're lucky, you'll score conditions similar to those in the video below!

In between, he has worked in the ski industry in China and Canada, but in the end, couldn't resist a return to the resort that made him fall in love with the sport and the industry.
