I'll definitely prefer Shinkansen than flying. At least you don't have to transfer numerous time to get to Niseko and probably just take the same amount of time without the risk of traffic congestion or extended wait time. I wonder how will this affect the real estate market over at Kutchan once completed. I've been thinking of purchasing a place in Kutchan or Hirafu in the next couple of years as a resort home.

I went the various mountains last winter season in Japan (Niseko / Shiga / Nozawa / Myoko / Naeba / Kagura ) and went to New Zealand Treble Cone and Cardrona in August. I will say Japan offers a better selection of runs and snow quality compared to New Zealand. Probably because I went to New Zealand at the later half of their season but what they consider powder (supposingly the highest amount of snowfall that season in Sept 1 2009) is not nearly on the same level as Niseko. Runs down there also tend to get icy very quick because of the strong wind. (The wind on top of Treble Cone was able

I tried to edit my post but there's no option to do that. I also try to post a new topic in classified and also reply on an existing topic but it seems there's nothing popping up. Anyone have the same issue? thanks -

Actually I tried that but not getting any responses -
Hi, I'm trying to make a new post in the classified section but there is no new topic button like the rest of the forum. I can't seem to PM moderators in regards to this too. Is there something I need to do in the configuration of the profile? Thanks!

I see the Trice is going for 63000 yen (25% off of retail) on Rakuten. (+1000 yen for shipping) Price is a bit steep compare to the States but shipping from US already kills any deals from there. I usually don't buy new year model but this C2 tech is quite hard to resist. Seems like the perfect board for my type of riding and usually TRice get sold out quite quickly for my size (157cm) anyways by the end of season.

Australia / NZ season

I'm thinking of going on a trip to New Zealand for a week or 2 in late July till early August or at early September this year. Got couple questions for you guys 1) Any package deals in Tokyo to snowboard in New Zealand. I heard Queensland area is a good place to go. I don't see any travel agency here offers these type of packages. 2) Is there direct flight to Queensland from Tokyo? 3) Is it worth bringing my pow board during this time of year? (late July to early Aug or at early September) Don't want to carry an extra set of board and bindings if it's not going to be put in -
