The left one is my old rad-air tanker 192, great for carving and surfing when you get a little bit speed up. People are usually wondering how you can turn on that thing, after they try it on they realize it's lighter than their 150...

 

The right one is the new toy, silver tanker 200... going first time ever to Niseko, for the whole December. I know the pow might not be there at that time but it's the only chance right now...

Got the new board for this winter Can't go to a long trip with just one board.

 

[1 month in Niseko area options...]

Company is shutting down so I ended up with some extra paid time to spend, so I was thinking to move to Niseko area for most of the December to take my tanker finally to the pow there. I did 2 weeks in Shiga last year, was wonderful but I've been told that Niseko is where I need to go

 

So is there something like leopalace or other 'cheap' non-resort accommodation available in the nearby towns (with possible local bus connection to slopes), or maybe I'll just rent a kei-car. At least in Okinawa I can get a car for a month for 40k, maybe the rates would be about the same in Hokkaido.

 

Any and all suggestions/hints are very much appreciated
