Since the ''pow" rush of 2005, where Niseko was flooded with "pow" starved Aussie's, Hokkaido and especially Niseko has settled down to be a totally international experience with a lot of Scandanavians, Europeans and Nth Americans all coming for the experience. With all the hundreds of Resorts in Japan, the Powder seeking Aussies have spread around both Islands to find their own private stashes of "pow".
