Ex Input:
I’m on my snowboard thigh-deep in powder in the middle of a piste and yet it’s nearly April, the end of the winter season. Frankly, in most ski resorts this depth of snow at this time of year would be highly unusual, but I’m in Niseko, Japan, where it’s a run-of-the-mill situation. The top lift at Niseko – a cluster of four interlinked villages on the island of Hokkaido – is only about 4,000 feet high, but despite the low altitude it receives around 50 feet of the white stuff every year courtesy of weather from Siberia, putting it in an elite club for snowfall levels.The top lift at Niseko is only about 4,000 feet high, but the resort receives around 50 feet of the white stuff every yearIt has 61 runs totalling 29 miles and the pistes are generally much less crowded than those in EuropeAmazing luxury accommodation can be found in the form of Kasara Niseko Village TownhouseViews are spectacular thanks to an Instagram-baiting 6,200ft volcano, Mount Yotei, which dominates the horizon 
 Question:And the good news right now is that there aren’t a lot of people dreaming about going to _ – many people I spoke to before leaving didn’t even know it was possible to ski in Japan - which means the slopes are joyously empty, so huge tracts of powder remain untouched hours after the snowflakes have stopped falling.

Ex Output:

Niseko
