If you are lucky enough to get to travel to experience different snowboarding sites then consider a trip to the Niseko mountain range in Japan. Niseko is made up of 5 different ski and snowboard areas. It is considered the Mt. Fuji of mountain ranges in Japan because of the extreme courses and weather.
