Thanks Sakebomb for the link, looks sort of far, but its not bad I think. With the map on the website it gave me a better idea of how much distances I am looking it. Now for the hotel booking..arhh..

Thanks guys, so the Ice Festival is in the New Chitose area then. 1/2 hour train ride to Airport from the airport ain't too bad. MOS Burger, haven't had it yet, I'll check it out. Hotel is a pain right now, can't find much, besides the over price $200+ a night hotels. Hopefully find a reasonable price hotel soon!

Thanks for everyone's help! One question, is New Chitose(CTS) where the Ice Festival will be held? because I am planning to check it out in Feb after boarding in Niseko? or is the Ice Festival at the other airport, I hope not.

For 1 Day pass, not including Night. Whistler BC $72 CAN Mt.Baker $37 US Mt.Hood Meadows $47 US In U.S. it range from $37-55. In Utah there are some resort that cost $60 for a day pass. But I think season pass are pretty cheap here, I got my Mt.Hood Meadows Season pass for $425. Japan lift tickets from what I have seen is usually cheaper then in the states, but the hotels in Japan is way over price.

I'll be coming in from Tokyo Narita Airport. Thanks

Can anyone tell me which airport I should be landing on, if I am going to Niseko? New Chitose(CTS) or Okadama(OKD) Thanks for the help

Try it twice, in Osaka. Expensive yes, but I thought it tasted very good, very smooth, but very very thin sashimi. Worth the risk I think!

Hi guys I am booking for hotel in Sapporo for the ice festival in Feb. I am thinking about booking the hotel below. Hotel New Otani Sapporo 1, North 2, West 1, Chuo-ku Sapporo, 060 Japan Is that near the Ice Festival? If is not close by the Ice Festival, around how many minutes walk to the festival area? thanks for your help

ha..ha.. thats totally true! But then again, I job involved me using the computer... so thats like 8 hours right there...

Thats pretty mess up! But funny

Whats the Happy 7 pass?

There are way too many options for snowboard in Japan. Looks like I need to visit more website to research more on the resorts. Need to get this done soon, need to order tickets in a month or so. Thanks Fattwins for all your advice and info.

Always take two shot of Johnny Walker before getting on the slope, it warms the body up good and and a light buzz riding!

Thanks, tons of good review and info on that site!

Thanks for the Snowbed info, everyone. I'll look into it as soon as I have all my tickets book and confirm.

Misorano Thats sounds good, I'll planning to stay in Snowbed probably for at least 2 nights, depending on how good the snow and mountain is, I might stay another day or so. Are you a skiier or boarder? Have you got your jacket and stuff? I get Columbia Sportswear and Mountain Hardwear gear for wholesale price! Which is around 50-60% off retail. Maybe we could work something out about lodging?

Thanks Curt, I'll do more research on the Arai, Myoko and Furano. Just hope they'll be as good as Whistler BC when I get there.

Whistler BC always have killer parties on New Years!

Fatboy slim, I saw him performed live before, he probably have his set all digitalize on his powerbook and all he have to do is adjust the bass and tremble... DJ Tiesto always used all old school way, he is still my favorite DJ, by far. His performance always kick A$$

Porridge is great, always have them in winter time! This might not be for everyone, but Hong Kong have some KILLER frog porridge, the taste is so freaking good!

How would everyone rate the following mountains Kiroro Sapporo Kokusai Myoko Arai Furano from 1 being the best and 5 the least fun?

thanks for everyone's input, and no I am not thinking about Hokkaido only, its the only one that rread so many great things about. So I thought I'll go there first. Myoko and Arai and Furano sounds great, I'll have to do much web research on them. Are those three all in Hokkaido? How are they in getting around easily for non japanese speaker? In everyone's opinion, what is the next best to Niseko or third best to Niseko? Thanks for everyone's help, good thing i didn't book anything yet.

thanks for the info Snowbed sounds fine to me, since I feel the same way, going there for boarding, where I sleep is not important. Could anyone forward me the contact person or website for Snowbed? Guess I should book it now. Wow Snowbenny, you going to stay there for one month, thats a long a$$ time! H

Any other recommedation? or options other then Niseko?
