Be careful when driving, also when skiing as there is no reason that the same can apply to that. (in Japan there's also 3rd party insurance for skiers).

last month a Hong Kong tourist was arrested after losing control of his vehicle and crash with another car injuring the other driver in Kyowa (30min of Niseko)
