I'll be in Japan in early-mid march for my first Japan Snowboarding experience
Im looking for a bit of powder (fingers crossed), some tree runs, varied terrain, affordable accommodation, and a town close to the mountain that will appeal to a few 30 years olds looking for some good restaurants and bars.
Given I'll be coming towards the tail end of the season, Im a little concerned about icey slopes (although Id still be happy)
I have a JR rail pass, and will be coming from Tokyo, at this stage Im thinking either Hakuba or Sapporo.
To increase my chances of achieving my wish list above (in particular some powder), am I best off heading far north?
Any pointers or advice would be greatly appreciated.
