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 :-)

Niseko, Japan - looking to organise a cheap trip for anyone interested!

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Hi all,

I used to live in Japan and absolutely love the place. Snowboarded in Hakuba for two seasons while I was still a beginner and now looking to organise a trip to Niseko. Having lived in Japan I know my way around, speak a bit of the language, and am convinced that a trip to Japan doesn't have to break the bank!

I've planned everything out and reckon I could organise a one week or maybe 10 day trip for around £800-1000 for accommodation and lift passes. Flights to Sapporo would be required, which are currently £504 from London with Finnair on various dates in January.

Anyone interested, skiiers or boarders, shoot me a message and let me know! I'm happy to do all the organising and I can be pretty flexible with dates this winter but was thinking January and early February would be best. FYI I'm a 33 year old intermediate snowboarder who lives in London, pretty easy going and usually up for a couple of beers!

Cheers,

Reuben.

Well if you're interested @Kooky, I'd better get me aarse in gear Wink

There's a strong chance I'd be up for a little 'recon' trip this season. It would need to happen when I'm not busy (skiing) elsewhere of course.
2nd+3rd week of Feb is my favoured spot. Firstly because it's got a good record for the weather we want and secondly because it's directly after the Birthday Bash.

I did and it was very successful, to the extent that the Japlanning committee, comprising HarrisonTheRabbit, SharkyMark and myself, determined without qualification or caveat that another recon trip was urgently required.

G, a rough estimate of the cheapest deal your smooth-talking chops can muster, per favore, coz flights (n Rohypnol!) will be pricey.

I don't think Niseko is the best choice if you only have a small window and want powder.


For Hokkaido @Mike and @anythings here and for Tohoku @Ramenman on the Australian forum might have good advice.
