@@paulwatt8634 For sure New Zealand also counts. Eaglecrest ski area by Juneau Alaska is also on an island. Though Japan has more active skiers/riders than the entire population of NZ, so the vast majority of people skiing on islands in the Pacific are found in Japan.

I grew up in Holberg, a tiny logging village a few hours from Mt Cain, it's where I learned to Ski in the 80's then when snowboarding took off I was one of the few people snowboarding up there..at 1st.. I have hiked to the top many times , deep powder and no one else around. It was awesome (haven't been back in 20 years) it made it into a few magazines in the 90's and became "crowded" after that... up until then I had seen at most 26 people on the slopes (2 school ski trips showed up the same day my school and one from Woss) .The mountain holds a special place in my heart..more so now that I am stuck in the prairies and the nearest mountain is 4 - 5 hours away. Thank you for the video it made me want to go back and see how much it changed..if at all :P
