I'll be in Niseko for a week in early/mid january. I can wait, coming from Perth we get NO SNOW.
Have never snowboarded before so looking forward to it. Hopefully the person who teaches me will ensure I get hooked. Though by the sounds of it shouldnt be too hard.
Hope to hang out with some of you lot, you sound pretty interesting!!!
Oh and whats the best way to get from Kobe to Niseko?
