Niseko Skiing | Annupuri Ski Resort
| Annupuri Ski Resort. Due to the huge snowfall + extremely low water content, Hokkaido's powder snow has made Niseko a top-notch ski resort. We went in early December, basically all the chairlifts and ski trails were open, we drove to the Annupuri Ski Resort, the parking lot opposite the ski center is free, we skied by ourselves, did not ask for a coach 🎿 Strategy as follows
1⃣Rent ski 🎿 equipment
Use the system inside the ski center to book the package you want to rent, pay at the counter after booking, and then the staff will give you those equipment
2⃣Practice skiing
After wearing the equipment, you can ski in the snow! The terrain outside this ski center is relatively flat, suitable for beginners to practice. If you ask a coach, you will also practice in this area. You must learn how to slow down and control the direction of skiing (turning)
3⃣Go to the snow mountain 🏔 ski trail 🎿
When you feel confident to ski down the mountain, you can go back to the ski center to buy chairlift tickets. You can buy one-time tickets, or daily/weekly/monthly tickets. After buying the tickets, you can take the chairlift up the mountain!
The mountain is higher than we imagined, it took about 5 minutes to finally reach our ski station. However, my friend saw that the ski trail was a bit complicated and didn't have much confidence to safely ski the whole course, so he decided to take the chairlift down. But in fact, the slope of the green road is not too steep. When sliding, you should first think about the route and direction of sliding, so you can better buffer the slope. The snow in Niseko is relatively soft. If you fall, it won't hurt so much, but it's harder to get up. If you really can't do it, you can also walk down the side of the ski trail in the steeper area
Everyone chose to come to Japan for skiing this time, and they chose to come to Anupli International Ski Resort. The ski resort is super large. The snow here is really clean. It gives me a feeling of incomparable purity and whiteness, like a fairy tale world.
The snow in Japan is really good! At last, I understand what is meant by pink and snow! __________ It slides smoothly and does not hurt when it falls. There aren't many people in the snowfield. It's great for me on the 0 basis. Don't worry about being hit all the time. Learn 2 hours in the morning, buy a cable car ticket directly in the afternoon and slide down the hill. It's cool. Come again next time!
The high slope took the cable car, but really dare not slide down, but at first it may feel a little high from the slope down, afraid of falling down, but it may be the reason why we usually play the roller coaster a lot more, after sliding up, the faster the speed, the more exciting it feels.
Call yourself a good scenery in the ski resort game
Niseko has beautiful scenery, traveling to the top of the mountain by cable car, and the snow peaks and mountains around it can be seen at a glance. The white snow paths and villages under the mountain often have different charms in the quiet winter. The air in the ski resort is very fresh. When skiing, breathe in the cold winter air, refreshing heart and lungs, you can empty the dirty lungs. Although it was difficult to walk and hit left and right when practicing skiing at first, it was an unparalleled pleasure to learn to rush down the slope along the snowway and release all kinds of constraints and restraints accumulated in the ordinary time.
I prefer quiet Annupuri to Hirafu. Although the lively hirafu is much more convenient for eating, there are also many more people in the hirafu snowfield than in annuprui. If you are a novice, I suggest learning to ski in the fewer annuprui is much better. By the way, several famous restaurants in hirafu are doing very well. If you want to eat, you must make an appointment in advance. Otherwise, there's no place.
