5. Japan offers budget-friendly options
From high-end digs in Niseko to more budget-friendly options and guided tours, there are accommodations for every budget range. Compared to the $100-plus lift tickets at North American resorts, lift tickets and equipment rentals range around $48/day. On-mountain dining is also a steal in comparison—skiers and boarders can enjoy a delicious midday lunch on the hill from about $5 to $14. Cheaper airfare can often be found flying out of LAX.
