Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Season in Japan!

Hi all,

Up until this last week I had it all worked out (or so I thought!) but at the last minute, my work (if you can call it that - it was a couple of hours a day in exchange for food/accommodation) hasn't worked out as Black Diamond Tours have had a change of management, and the current Boss isn't the one I had the work agreed with.

As a result, I'm in a bit of a tough situation as most positions for work out in Niseko seem to be filled and I've not come across anything else with a similar offer to the above. Earning money while I'm out there isn't important. It was also going to be a good way to get to know some of the English speaking seasonaires and the theory behind it was that working in exchange for food and board would be a good cheap way of doing an exotic season.

I'm still extremely keen to get out there for the season but I'm at a bit of a loss as to what to do! The emphasis is very much on skiing, and not on working.

Does anyone have any hints/tips to either find cheap season accommodation in Niseko? I'm in the midst of finding and contacting other English speaking operators but there aren't loads!

Thanks!

Chris

If it's about skiing, then get cheap accommodation in Otaru, buy the 3 Pass (Kiroro, Asari, Kokusai) and do day trips to Tenguyama, Teine, Niseko, Rusutsu.

It's not Niseko but you'll have a better ski experience.

For way cheaper.

 Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Mike,

Thanks, I really appreciate the tip!

Any tips on accommodation with an English speaking contingent?

Day trips to those resorts - I assume there are buses? Are they free or do they charge? I'm desperate to get back to Rusutsu, I had the best day of my life there in 2013!
