Niseko weiss and surrounds are literally flat, forget about it, buy some snowshoes and some BC equipment and hike up Iwaonoppuri and drop off the side, steep and fast.
-
I am with fattwins,Niseko is flat and we just want to voice our opinion, its not just being negative.You guys can have it whilst we rip up our peaks on Honshu, dont bother coming down here the snows too heavy and it doesnt snow as much!!
-
Tou can get topo maps from the book store
-
There is usually no problem until you get to Aomori.From there the trains are infrequent and it will take you atleast 5 hours to get to Niseko.Its a long way on slow local trains in Hokkaido
-
you are a bit late,your mates are already there!!!!!
-
-
dont go to niseko its a bottomless pit with no culture go to honshu and get into cardanchi!!
-
I have dropped off the back of Annapuri then Hiked about 3 hours to the top of Iwaonoppuri and dropped off the back of there,pretty awesome,long walk out!!!!

Spent a bit of time there over the past few years and the snowpack,combined with the steep chutes can be quite dicey in my opinion.Many people have died there over the years,I think it is adangerous yet rewarding place.Meet me there early Feb and I will tell u more!!!

No cliffs,no Bowls,open your eyes and look at the mountain range west of Hakuba,get your snowshoes and poles out and start walking mate.

Cheapest way is to fly.
I have researched ferry and train and both are the similar prices .
My advise is just fly.
