I know this is SnowJapan.com and you're suppose to promote Japan. Yes, Japan is great especially if you're within Australia Asia region, But if you can't ski or board during January-April, would the French and Austrian Alps gives you nice long terrain, long piste runs, and lovely accomodations? I need you guys to be absolutely honest here. Places like Chamonix, Livigno, Mayrohen, solden...etc... By the way, SnowJapan should start a HooK-Up department for season skiers like Tubby, Gozaimas, MagStevens...etc should show people around. I was absolutely so lonely when I was up at Teine and To

Going solo to niseko

i stayed at some places at Tomamu, met lots of Hong Kong, Singaporean and European people, but they kept to themselves and their friends, I did not have a blast. -
Wazzat mean? I saw some youtube videos of Niseko, it's like that guy skiing in Niseko was like SWIMMIMG IN POWDER, while I saw youtube videos of people skiing at Mahrofen, Austria or Italy, it's like flat terrain with MINIMAL snow. What you think?

How much does it cost to stay at Shizenkan Lodge and annupuri lodge respectively? What about food? How are you planning to eat? Just curious. -
Is Niseko still the best place to ski compared to other European and American ski resorts? Where is the most reasonable place to stay in Hokkaido and ski?

I was at Furano yesterday. Only one or 2 course were open. I found it quite challenging even for the green line just after you get off the gondola. It's Kamui ski link, the same or easier? I found Furano quite steep for my skills level. I learnt skiing on my own. I found Tomamu green lines easier. Someone comment, please. Thanks! :-)

Tubby, I wouldn't recommend you to buy things from Amazon, many of their products are at premium prices. Put in some effort into looking for your goods and trusted website, you'll be fine. To everyone, Which is better? Sapporo Kokusai or Teine? For beginners, in terms of value, rentals, tickets, least crowded? Feedback everyone, thanks -

Hey Andy, show us a picture of your stuff, I like to see what's like. Hmm... not you but most videos that I saw looks like people holding on to a stick/pole and the background changes while they are stable. You can't see the background and environment much, just seeing the guy "dancing" around and the video looking into his face. I might do that someday after I can edge and wedge with confidence. Maybe with a 155cm board. -

Ok, I'm an amateur with this, but how come you can't just buy a broom stick and cut it into size?! Can't you get a friend to film you as well?
