Niseko, Hokkaido (Japan)
Niseko is known for the constant, heavy snowfall it receives (from January to March, the average snow depth is 351cm), resulting in fresh, deep snow on a daily basis.
Mt. Ezhovaya, the Middle Urals (Russia)
In the Urals you have the option of heli-skiing out of ex-Soviet military helicopters and the views are great. Crowds aren’t a concern here; safety is.
Sahoro, Hokkaido (Japan)
The Sahoro area is famous for its ideal weather conditions and extensive ski courses in English and Japanese.
Alborz Mountains, Tehran (Iran)
A 1.5-hour drive from Tehran, Dizin in the Alborz is Iran’s largest snowfield, boasting some of the highest slopes in the world. The season lasts six months, and skiing in Dizin is relatively cheap: approximately $32/day for a lift pass and $64/day for equipment. Nearby Shemshak is the next largest, and while the ski lifts aren’t modern, lights are set up along the slopes for great night skiing.
Lech, Vorarlberg (Austria)
Exclusive, expensive and luxurious, Lech Ski Resort is for the mink-wearing glamour skiers of the world.
Alps Ski Resort, Gangwon (South Korea)
The Alps Resort, near Soraksan National Park, is one of Korea’s largest ski resorts, boasting a wide variety of winter sports. The Alps-style architecture lends an European air to it all.
Mt. Baw Baw, Victoria (Australia)
Less hyped and more relaxed than other ski areas in the region, you’ll find that Mt. Baw Baw is great for novice and intermediate skiers.
Mt. Uludag, Bursa (Turkey)
Mt. Uludag is for hardcore skiers. What it lacks in world-class facilities and nightlife, the mountain makes up for in height, which reaches 8,343 feet.
Bansko, Blagoevgrad (Bulgaria)
Bansko is one of the newer ski resorts in the area, and it is known for its slopes’ deep, fresh snow and forest ski paths.
Grab that sunblock and those fancy shades, as we take a look at some of the best beaches that are really just a (ok maybe two) stone's throw away. OR, simply take a look at some of the hottest destinations  for those of you who are looking for something slightly off the beaten  track.
