The best powder snow in Japan typically falls in the prefectures of Niigata and Nagano. People often think Niseko which is in Hokkaido snows the most in Japan but very few people know that the Myoko area in Niigata has some of the highest snowfall on average around the world at about 18m annually. Lotte Arai which is in the Myoko area is one of the snowiest places in Niigata was also rated the best ski resort in Japan in 2020. Seki Onsen and Lotte Arai have a incredible base of over 5m. Akakura Kanko resort is also a very famous resort that is my personal favorite due to its powder quality and terrain.

Well the best snow for skiing is powder, most of the time, if you're just skiing for fun, and not racing. Powder snow is snow that has not been touched, is soft and deep, most of the time freshly laid that day or night.

I you've heard of back country or heliskiing, this is what these groups are going to find, people pay a lot of money for it.

Powder snow is generally considered the best type of snow for snowboarding. It is light, fluffy, and provides a smooth ride with good traction. Powder snow also allows for easier carving and turns, making it a preferred choice among snowboarders.
Wet snow has a higher water content, making it heavier and more compact than powder snow. Powder snow is lighter and fluffier, with lower water content, making it easier to ski or snowboard through. Wet snow can be more challenging to navigate and create a slower experience on the slopes.
