Hi I'm looking at spending a week or two over Christmas and New years in either Furano or Niseko with a bunch of mates (from NZ / Oz). Most of us are boarders looking for some powder, but theres one or two learners too who will need lessons. A couple of questions: 1) What is the chance of good powder over xmas (which place would you recommend) 2) Do the instructors there speak english Cheers J

Hey all I'm keen to try Japan out this season - unfortunately I can only go over Christmas / New years for a coupla weeks. Meeting a bunch of mates there (all good boarders) from diff countries Can anyone tell me where is the best resort for this time of year - and if theres much hope of getting good snow? Priorities for us are (in this order): - Fresh snow - Cool area (bit of a Japanese experience would be great . . . i.e. not all foreigners if poss) - Somewhere to go out for a few beers - Hot springs Thanks in advance for any advice!
