Niseko Clean Sweep at the World Ski Awards
Niseko completed a remarkable clean sweep at the World Ski Awards that were held in Kitzbuhel, Austria, last night picking up every available prize for the Japanese categories.
At the 2014 World Ski Awards, held last night in Kitzbuhel, Austria, Niseko completed an incredible clean sweep of all the Japanese Ski Awards!
Japan was the only country out of the 21 countries represented at the awards where one resort dominated so completely. Awards such as this only serve to enhance Niseko's reputation around the world and amongst our fellow ski professionals. Go Niseko!
Not only that, but local legend Akio Shinya - who is Chief of the Niseko Annupuri Avalanche Prevention Committee - picked up an Outstanding Contribution to Ski Tourism award for his work keeping us safe over here in Niseko. Read more about him and his work at SnowAction.
Not only that, but our friends down at The Vale Niseko picked up the awards for WORLD's Best Boutique Ski Hotel. It was a night to remember for Niseko!
Japan's Best Ski Resort - Niseko United
Great news for Niseko as Niseko United picked up the award for Japan's Best Ski Resort for the second year running. We all know that Niseko has the best snow in the world, but to be consistently recognised as Japan's leading resort is a great honour. As Asia's only truly international resort, Niseko is leading the way in terms of not only providing fantastic on-snow facilities, but also the best accommodation, apres-ski and restaurants for our Guests.
Japan's Best Ski Chalet - Sekka Kan
Niseko-based property management outfit HT Holidays had a strong showing at the World Ski Awards, picking up nominations for Sekka Kan and Konkuriito. Sekka Kan came away with the win, beating off strong competition from within Niseko and also throughout Japan.
Japan's Best Ski Hotel - Niseko Hilton
Another category, another Niseko winner! This time our congratulations go to the Niseko Hilton as they picked up the award for Japan's Best Ski Hotel for the second year running.
