Powderlife co-founder and editor Kristian Lund is a former newspaper journalist who spent time growing up in Tokyo and learned to ski in the Japanese Alps. He earned his stripes as a reporter at News Limited newspapers, and went on to work as a senior media advisor in Australian state government. He started making Powderlife in 2007 after falling in love with life in Niseko during his first visit.
There’s no funner way to explore a holiday destination than by motor scooter, and as of last summer you can do just that in Niseko!
Niseko’s year-round activity booking centre Explore Niseko jumped on the opportunity to introduce mechanised two-wheel tourism and now offers scooters for rent to visitors.
While road cycling and mountain biking are popular green season pastimes here, if you need some time off the pedals and just want to zip around to see more of the countryside and local sightseeing attractions, one of these nifty 50cc mopeds is for you.
They’re easy to ride, cheap on fuel, and cheap to rent… and there’s no better way to get a lung full of Niseko’s fresh air!
