Escape Regret: Fulfilling Dreams Skiing in Japan

Join us as we explore Niseko, the top ski destination in Japan. From visiting onsens to trying delicious food on and off the mountain, we'll show you why Niseko offers an unforgettable experience. And with epic snow conditions, you won't want to miss out on this winter wonderland. Don't just dream, make it happen and ski in Japan!
In this video, we'll take you on a journey through the popular ski resorts of Grand Hirafu, Hanazono, Annupuri, and Niseko Village. We will ski beyond the boundary "off perth" in some of the greatest powder of our lives!!! (It is so good there is a word for it, Japow!) We soak in the mixed-gender onsen at Niseko Grand Hotel. We eat DELICIOUS cheese tarts from the Niseko Takahashi Dairy Farm Milk Kobo truck in Hirafu Village. We taste the amazing local ski food at Bo-Yo-So our favorite restaurant on the mountain. Get a taste of the stunning views and unique skiing experiences these resorts have to offer with their interesting lifts and gondolas and views of Mt. Yotei!

Welcome to madventure, we're MADison and iVEN (okay it is spelled Ivan, but pronounced like VENture) a husband and wife living the adventure we have been dreaming of, despite the fact that it makes us sound completely mad. For us that looks like traveling full time and starting our own businesses.
For Madison, a former reality TV producer, the dream is the madventure community, connecting people through travel, experiencing new cultures, and trying the best foods from carts, stands and restaurants all over the world. She hopes to encourage others to follow their maddest most adventurous dreams, whatever they may be! For Ivan, a former NASA engineer, it is creating an engineering product that will change the world! Travel and food are two of our biggest passions, so on this channel we will be traveling the world, and staying awhile to experience what life is actually like living other places. We're excited to have you on board for the delicious, culture filled, madventurous times that will ensue! Let's madventure! xoxo

What is at the top of your bucket list???

[@user-xk8ll9vv1y]

I am even less of a morning person than Ivan. Early mornings are the only problem with fun excursions like this!

[@letsmadventure]

Haha early mornings + freezing cold is a brutal combination 😂

[@msdegitz1]

You guys are definitely living your best lives! ❤

[@letsmadventure]

Aw, thanks so much! We're having fun sharing our adventures!!! 🤍

[@hooobi]

You should definitely try skiing in europe :D we've got heated lifts literally EVERYwhere. Italy/Austria

[@letsmadventure]

Ooooh that sounds incredible!!! I'm definitely going to make that happen!

[@dianaa8125]

Japan is the best for skiing! You should try some of the smaller resorts! In think you'd love Sapporo teine. My dream is to permanently live in Japan for skiing

[@letsmadventure]

That is an INCREDIBLE DREAM! I would LOVE THAT!!! The boys I was with all had Ikon Pass, so they had free skiing in Niseko, but I don't so next time I definitely want to go to the smaller resorts! Are there any in particular you recommend?
