Thanks to everyone for your posts it's much appreciated.

 

In response to Go Native, let's get a bit more specific.

 

I'm travelling on my own over there, and have set aside 10days for the trip. My main goal is to obviously snowboard as much as possible, I don't need off piste, expert runs anything like that. Just some nicer snow than down in NZ.

I think it would be a shame not to see some of the culture whilst I am there and get a feel for Japan, would be good to take a day out to go and do some sightseeing.. Accomodation I'm not too fussed about to be honest, as long as it is comfortable I'm happy westernised or not.

I would like to try and organise this trip myself, my first experience of a snow holiday was done through an agent and well I think I could have got more for my money if I had done it myself. Plus it's part of the fun orgainsiing it all.

As for partying, well I'm travelling on my own so would be good to be somewhere where I can meet people, but hey you can meet people anywhere if you try, but big nights out until the early hours, no not looking for that.

 

Hope that is a bit more specific, and once again thanks to everyone that's replied.

Hi Guys

 

So I'm completely new to this forum and pretty new to snow sports. Been down in NZ a couple times this year snowboarding, first time ever, but I really got the bug, hence why I went back again not long after my return.

 

I'd like to take a trip away this winter (northern hemisphere), I live in Oz, and pretty much everyone I speak to says go to Japan. Basically, like I said I'm a beginner at snowboarding, and I want to get over to Japan. So any information on where would be good to go, time of year, places to stay would be hugely appreciated.

 

I am doing my own research but I figured after reading through some of the posts on here, there are some people out there with quite a lot of knowledge of Japan. So why not ask the people that know.

 

Thanks to anyone who responds.
