We live for travel and are usually in the joyously rewarding business of sending people out into the world. But while we all remain grounded for now, our team at Mogul Ski World is finding joy in bringing the world to you.
Welcome to our second instalment of Mogul Ski World’s ‘Travel From Home’ Toolkit, where we share our tricks for staying connected to our dreams and exploring the wonders of the world, all from the safety of home and comfort of our couches.
This week we’re heading to Four Seasons Resort Whistler for a cooking class and spa treatment, taking an hilarious road-trip to Aspen, reliving past travel adventures and sharing some great at-home workouts to ensure you remain snow fit during lockdown!
Our featured dream destination is Niseko on Japan’s island of Hokkaido. Renowned for its incredible deep powder and plenty of out of bounds skiing, it’s an ideal destination for experienced skiiers and snowboarders looking for a challenge. And with other nearby resorts accessible on a guided day trip, it is a great base from which to explore the wonders of Japanese snow.

ROAD TRIP TO ASPEN WATCHING DUMB & DUMBER
This classic Farrelly brothers’ comedy brings some serious LOLs and features some of the most inspired snow fashion ever seen on screen! Intellectually challenged friends Lloyd (Jim Carrey) and Harry (Jeff Daniels) abandon their dreams of opening a worm pet store in their hometown of Providence, Rhode Island to road trip across the country and return a lost briefcase to its owner in Colorado.
Driving Harry’s sheepdog-styled truck, the duo finally makes it to Aspen where hilarious misadventures continue to unfold – all against the stunning alpine backdrop and Après atmosphere. Don’t you wish you could travel like this on IOUs?
CREATE A PHOTO BOOK & ESCAPE INTO PAST ADVENTURES
With nowhere to go and not much to do, now is the ideal time to escape into past adventures and reminisce on old travels. Why not get all those beautiful images off your phones and laptops and turn them into a beautiful, personalised photobook?
Memories are best kept alive through sharing, so we will be creating an online gallery of travel images and memories from our clients and posting these on our Snow Blog and social media. To be featured, please email your images and holiday memories to: [email protected]
DREAM NOW, TRAVEL LATER – NISEKO
World-renowned for its copious amounts of light, dry powder snow and an average annual snowfall of around 15 metres, Niseko is a powder haven for beginners and thrill seekers alike. The resort has some remarkable back country skiing with off-piste touring, wide open bowls and tree runs. For experts, we suggest booking a mountain guide to make the most of all the hidden, deep powder runs and out of bounds skiing, which Niseko is famous for. The guide can also take day trips to visit the nearby resorts of Rusutsu and Kiroro.
The main village at the base of Grand Hirafu offers an amazing choice of dining options, from upmarket Michelin star restaurants to small family run izakaya’s all serving the very best of Hokkaido’s local produce. There are plenty of activities to be enjoyed in the Niseko area including snow tubing, snow shoeing and traditional onsens. And with the majestic Mt. Yotei dominating the skyline, the scenery is something that will stay with you long after you return home.
