Check out the new feature they put online today about Niseko. Interesting to see the snow fall stats for the last 5 years or so. http://www.skijapanguide.com/2002/features/powder-13.html and http://www.skijapanguide.com/2002/features/powder-13-snowdepths.html '99 was a wicked year for the snow... More of the same for other areas, SJG?

blinkin'ek replied to Dr Evil's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
If you go to almost any resort apart from the "biggies" you will find very few non-Japanese people around, maybe the odd one or two. Actually, may find very few Japanese skiers or boarders around too if you go on a weekday! -

blinkin'ek replied to cal's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
Fairly decent place if you are living in north eastern Tokyo or Chiba region. Nothing spectacular - think they modeled it on some resort in the US (correct me if I am wrong folks). -
I know I'll be flamed for this but does anyone else feel that the crap showing of snow so far this season means we're going to have a crappy snow season (ie not as much). Go on, start the flames!
