Singapore, Dr. Cheng Jun emphasizes an
advanced endoscopic treatment approach. An
avid skier, Dr. Cheng Jun regularly takes to the
slopes in Hokkaido, Japan, which features
some of Asia’s finest powder skiing.
Many of Hokkaido’s top resorts lie to the west
of Sapporo near the coast, where the extremely
cold winter mountain temperatures ensure that
the powder is dry and ideal for downhill
carving.

3.  Overall, Hokkaido slopes have a reputation for being
less steep than those in the Japanese Alps of Honshu,
but this is not entirely the case: destinations such as
Kurodake and Sapporo Teine feature challenging
verticals, although no resorts in Japan truly compare
with top-tier North American destinations such as
Whistler.
Another advantage of skiing in Hokkaido is its relative
distance from population centers such as Tokyo, which
gives the slopes a more relaxed, less crowded feel. The
skiing in rural areas can offer excellent value, with a
bowl of Sapporo-style ramen just the right pick-me-up
after a long day on the slopes.
