THE BUMS GO GLOBAL: EXPERIENCE JAPAN IN 2013!
If there's one place on the planet that the deep powder-seekers of the world are dying to experience, it's Niseko, Japan. With "snowflakes large enough to cast shadows," it consistently reports some of the world's highest annual snowfalls. In the last fifteen years, it's also become a swanky global ski destination, enough that the New York Times has branded it "Japan's St. Moritz."
The BUMS have been begging us for years to plan a trip to Japan, and sign up is going quickly; the trip is more than half full.
Reserve your spot on our most unforgettable trip of next season >
