Niseko - The Powder Thrill

By Jacquelin Magnay.

There is something about Niseko that changed my view about skiing in wild snowy weather.
When the sun came out and the white powder stopped falling suddenly I wasn't that thrilled.

Most mountain towns would settle for snow on the ground, switching the lifts on and shooting a few fireworks to ring in opening weekend. But Aspen/Snowmass isn’t just any mountain town.

The Northern Hemisphere season is off and running and during the next few weeks Skitracks will be bringing you a look at what is going on during opening day / week at resorts scattered around the globe..

Mt Baker Ski Area has blasted into winter with a massive amount of snow and more on the way.

THE WHOMP WHOMP of the helicopter is deafening. It flies in low and fast. We're huddled low behind our guide with our skis about five metres away. This small gap is the narrow landing corridor for the chopper; it lurches sideways and appears to come directly for us. The snow whips up into an eddy, shards of ice crystals exfoliating any exposed parts of the face. Within this snowstorm, the chopper nests on a semi-flat ridge high in the Monashee Mountains above Blue River in the midst of British Columbia, Canada. It has come to collect us and take us higher for our next ski run.
