I've just spent 9 days in Switzerland (not Japan then.....sorry), doing the learning thing with my new Snowboard (Bullet 164).

Thanks to both of you, I looked back in the forum, SnowBeds in Hakuba-o-one looks like a decent place, and is cheap to boot!. I'll check out Yudanaka now, thanks Mobi. What are the slopes like in March? I'm going to St.Moritz in mid Feb for 8 days, but apparently the season is terrible there. -
I'm snowboarding in March in Japan hopefully, any recommendations on which resorts are the best? The nearer to Tokyo the better. Does anyone know any good package deal operators for snowboarding trips, or is it best to go it alone? Cheers!!

Couple of questions: I'm hopefully going to have a week of Snowboarding in Japan in march, are there any websites that do group parties etc.. I'm getting my first board, fed up of renting, going for a Burton - any personal recommendations on which model?
