Melbourne, Australia. Working part-time as a boarding instructor this season at Mt Buller. I want to get to Japan sometime real soon. Planning to live there and teach some English for a bit and perhaps instruct boarding too. Might come up for a few weeks in Feb-Mar next year to check out the place for the first time... Looking for advice on the right spots for pow, apres ski and employment.

GREAT idea MikeD. I'm interested in getting over there as soon as possible. I know the basics in Japanese language but I don't really mind what I do there. Ideally I'd be teaching English or instructing snowboarding. Sounds like if you get in with a good manager you can have your visa issues taken care of. I've only really started looking into this just now but can anyone tell me how hard/easy it is to get a visa?
