  1. Lol, good weather I mean snowing. Dark skies don't matter thats for sure. On another note a work collegue apparently went to japan at the start of the year and recommended Furano. He said it wasnt crowded like Niseko or anything and would be right down my alley. Thoughts? Though i still like the sound of Nozawa Onsen...but only because it has "latern-lit cobblestone streets in the description"....lol.
  2. Hmm...I posted a reply before but for some reason I can't see it. Because I'm too lazy to write it all again I had one question (well lots of questions, just one topic): Everywhere says its the best place. I'm sure there all very different but in terms of the skiing, are they all fine? Like nice powder, good runs for beginners and intermediates, and good weather most of the time? Are there places I should definitely avoid? And are there certain areas that have many resorts that would be the best to look at? As it stands I have a few places I THINK would be good, I just need
  3. Cool! Now I'm getting a feel for this all. I'm getting an idea on where I'd like to stay BUT Thursday is right (I'm been a pain in the bum lol)...we want a good, almost traditional holiday but then again we like to party (how stupid does that sound?) If we had to pick id defintely say we'd sacrifice the partying for the snow. Still, some sort of nightlife would be good. I forgot about the review section so I might go check that out as it would probably help! Sorry if I'm going around in circles here.
  4. So you think we will struggle if we stayed somewhere less popular with the language barrier and all? Will it be that bad that the trip will be a write off? As I mentioned above I like the sound of Nozawa Onsen. It might be important to mention that although it would be good for us to sort of ‘dip our toes in first’ instead of diving in straight away, we are the kind of people that like to start at the deep end…it makes it more fun the more lost you feel! I travelled to Vietnam by myself last year and had a blast. I have been reading a fair bit this morning and again as I state
  5. Oh cool...yeah I live in brisbane and I feel the Gold Coast is a bit over the top, I really want to get away from the 'western' feel if I can. I've printed out the skijapan 08/09 ski brochure and also obtained a list of all the resorts in Japan. Is Nozawa Onsen any good? I know you may not be able to answer that question but hopefully someone can. I just like the idea that the palce has retained some of its traditional feel (cobblestone streets - though that might only be one street in the entire town lol) I can read as much as I want but it seems that everywhere is "the best snow"
  6. Hey all, First post lol. I've never been to the snow before let alone done any skiing and/or snowboarding. My little brother has and like so many of his friends has been bitten by the bug and now randomly rambles about dropping out of Uni to go work in the Ski fields here in Australia for a season….odd. Anyway – I’m in need of a holiday and a very much planned Vegas vacation fell through the floor so I suggested we hit the ski fields in Japan. So myself (23) my brother (20) and one of my mates (also 23) will be travelling to Japan in late February to ski, party and relax with a
