If thinking of a special skiing holiday in Asia, you’re just in time to catch some of the best powder on the continent. From off-the-beaten track destinations like Karakol in Kyrgyzstan to the best slopes in Hokkaido, these itineraries combine snowy adventure with the luxury of a bespoke Remote Lands journey.
Beach or ice? Jungle or slopes? Tiger or snow leopard? This issue of the hot and cold winter picks from Remote Lands features everything you want to know about where you should go for winter in 2020.
Winter may seem like a long way off, but if you want your best shot at the snow monsters of Mount Zao or the coolest villas in Niseko, now is the time to start planning.
Heliskiing in the Himalayas or hitting some of the finest powder in Japan, these destinations will inspire skiers to strap on their GoPro and hit the slopes.
After landing in Kyrgyzstan, skiers might be tempted by the proximity of Bishkek, but there is much to compliment the slopes of Karakol, including a level of resort-style service that won’t be available elsewhere.
