[Help me convince my girlfriend!]

Legends! Cheers for the initial feedback. I guess my lady( someone other than my mrs and girlfriend!) wouldn't mind seeing a bit of culture too but my initial priority is getting some shred action.

 

I think cost is the main issue she's hesitant but as long as I can break it all down and write a semi decent budget then it shouldn't be a problem. I'll look into January but it's the busiest time of the summer for my bar and hard to score myself free time.

 

Looks like hakuba it is via bullet train and a bus, sweet! And cheers for the link to the accomm TJ.

 

Any more hints are appreciated! Free booze for one and all....seriously though, keep the mrs thing quiet.

 

If any of you head my way hit me up and it'd be good to have a yarn! As well as a few hangovers.

 

Cheers

[Help me convince my girlfriend!]

Hey guys,

 

I'm new to this forum but keen to get on here heaps more in the close future. Just initially hoping some of you lot can help me out.

 

Basically I'm looking to plan a trip riding to Japan in feb/march for myself, my girlfriend and 4or5 friends. My mrs normally organizes stuff and me being a complete bloke, obviously takes it for granted! So this one is mine to suss out.

 

we're all snowboarders who live in queenstown NZ and fancy hitting some real snow over in hakuba or niseko. Been reading loads about where to go, how to get where etc but it all stems from companies trying to sell you products so I'm looking for YOUR help!

 

I'm hoping for 2-3 weeks holiday, catching some decent powder, good park terrain, beautiful scenery and pretty good night life. Hakuba seems to cover thatright? Any other suggestions?

 

Accommodation and lift passes are something I'm struggling with. Anyone got experience with package deals with any companies?good value or a rip off? Easier to do it all on your own? Not looking for a flash place to crash! Hostel or B&B is sweet, again any ideas?

 

Costing? For a 10-13 day lift pass what would it set you back? And nightly accom? Are there any trustworthy companies who package?

 

Flights seem pretty straight forward...into Tokyo, have a nosy around for a day or two, buy some gadgets that I'll never use then train/bus to resort right!?

 

Appreciate this is lengthy but I'd be so grateful for any help or info. I can hook you up with booze if you ever head over this way to NZ as a reward for your efforts!

 

Cheers all,

 

Gary
