between each of the trails the tree skiing here is some of the best in Japan if not the [Music] world coming in at number four is ghetto kogan this smaller ski resort flies completely under the radar however it’s slowly becoming more commonly known as Riders are looking for deep snow and an off the Beaten Track experience ghetto kogan is located in the Yamagata Prefecture and is renowned for its abundant 15 M or 590 in of snowfall which is powered by strong storms that come directly in from Siberia and just seem to dump endless Japanese powder on the surrounding mountains going by the Numbers the resort looks tiny five lifts 14 Mark trails and only 430 M of vertical however ghetto kogan punches well above its weight and is home like rutu to Legendary tree skiing that will have your legs burning before lunch number three on our list is none other than the newest ski resort in Japan latte arai this Resort is fast becoming the de Valley or san meritz of Japan and is the only major luxury ski resort in the country after closing down in 2006 the resort sat abandoned for 10 years before the latte group purchased the resort and gave it a base to Summit makeover the resort is located in mioko and thrives on offering inbound Backcountry experience 70% of the terrain here is left ungroomed which means when you add in the 16 M or 629 in of annual snowfall it’s a recipe for incredible deep skiing or snowboarding where else can you get over 1,000 M of vertical a luxury hotel plus 15 cm to 6 in of fresh snow on average every day during the winter [Music] season many of you have probably been wondering when this Resort would make an appearance on this list yes number two is NCO NCO United is actually four different ski resorts that climb the southern faces of Mount NCO anapuri and can be located in the center of Southwestern haido thanks to this prime location the resort gets annihilated by strong storms which come in from Siberia collect moisture from the Sea of

all over the world to rideo in the sunshine they come for the deep deep pow of snow this Resort is home to 38 lifts just under 2,200 Acres of terrain and 61 Mark Trails this doesn’t include everything that can be found in the trees between the [Music] trails number one on this list is actually two Resorts which both see the same average amount of snowfall each winter season we are curious to know if anyone watching this has heard of either of these Resorts let us know your thoughts in the comments both kiroro and saporo kuasai will typically see 18 M or 708 in of snowfall each winter season however in a good season that number can go up to 24 M or 944 in of snow and the seasons in Japan normally only last 3 to 4 months which means the resorts can typically see over 8 m or 314 in of snow in a single month absolutely mindblowing both kiroro and sapora kcasa sit in the shadows of nearby NCO and rutu this means the resorts see lower number of riders which means there is more powder for The Adventurous skiers and snowboarders who do choose to visit both of these resorts are smaller when compared to the other ski resorts nearby however if you’re visiting hikido and you want deep snow
