If you've never experienced winter for real, or if you just need to escape the oppressive heat, Club Med Sahoro in Hokkaido has just the thing for you. Snow season is coming at the resort and if you book their All-Inclusive Snow Package before December 31 (for travel between December 2 and March 31, 2012), you'll enjoy $400 off per adult and $200 off per child.

As part of the package (which starts at S$1,700 for adults and $1,075 for kids) you'll get five nights' accommodation, complimentary meals (including at the new Mina Mina Japanese Restaurant, which serves a local specialty—the nabemono hotpot) and access to 17 skiiing trails with accompanying instructors as well as the hotel's Ofuro (traditional hot bath).

If you're there in February, you can also visit the Sapporo Snow Festival.
