Fourteen meters of annual snowfall — the driest, lightest powder on Earth — has turned this Hokkaido resort into the mecca that Australian and American powder hounds fly 20 hours to worship at.

The Matterhorn looming over every run makes Zermatt the most photogenic ski resort ever built, and the car-free village preserves an Alpine atmosphere that modern mega-resorts have destroyed.

Corbet's Couloir is the most famous expert chute in North America, and the town's cowboy culture means après-ski involves whiskey and elk burgers rather than champagne and truffle fries.

The cradle of Alpine skiing since the 1920s combines 300 kilometers of runs with an après-ski scene so legendary that some visitors never actually make it onto the mountain.

North America's largest ski resort pairs 8,171 acres of terrain with a village that feels more European than most European resorts, connected by the record-breaking Peak 2 Peak Gondola.

Host of Olympic and World Cup events with snowsure conditions above 1,850 meters, Val d'Isère is where serious skiers go when they want to prove something to themselves.

The freeride capital of the Alps attracts extreme skiers to Mont Fort's 3,330-meter summit and hedge fund managers to its notoriously expensive chalets in equal measure.
