Thanks all and suggestion of rather@thesnow! Unfortunately, we are staying in Alpen Hotel. We may get the bus anyway. Cheers.

Hi all, I am now in Niseko and want to take a day-trip to Rusutsu. Is there any day package (bus+ski pass)available from Niseko? thanks

Will go Naeba/Kagura on 4-9APR for last round this season, can anyone tell how is condition of snow and weather? I'm thinking to put the warm temp wax (-3 to +3C) on my board instead of all temperature wax.

Does God read this forum.. As worst as last year, I still went to Niseko in late April. It was still some snow falling at the top, of course, forget about the base. Due to my work schedules, can't walk away in March, only option in April but don't want to go to Niseko again. Any recommendation in other places? Otherwise, may go to Canada.. But I really hate longhaul flight..

Planning for the last ride in early April in Japan... Where do you suggest to?

If you haven't got the time or equipment, that "nasty" spray wax is surely better than nothing. I used it a couple of years back and the base & edges were fine in December. But you need to get that stuff off before doing a real wax again. G'luck snobee, Thanks.

samurai, Thanks a lot. Will try it on this weekend.

It's time to put the snowboard into closet. Can anyone advise the best way to protect the base? Can I just put the hot wax on it until next season? Will it be to hard to scrap it after 8-9 months? Thanks.

I am expecting for my last ride this season in Niseko next week!!

Is there anyone living in Niseko can tell the status now? I am coming on Easter holiday next week. Thanks a lot.

Yes, I like to get comment too. I am planning to make my last ride in Niseko during Easter holiday on 5-8APR.

Guys, What's your thought in early JAN. Cheers

Danke!

Thanks! Is this one? http://www6.ocn.ne.jp/~canadian/zhome.html

Any recommendation of lodge in Myoko Suginohara other than Prince Hotel? Looking for the location is nearby the ski field. Thanks!

Guys, Thanks. I got an alternative from Chuo Taxi service. 11,500YEN per person directly from Narita Airport into hotel at Shiga Kogen. I guess it is reasonable deal. Cheers.

Hi all, Do you know where can I get the Winter bus schedules from Nagano station to Shiga Kogen? Thanks

Planning to go either Niseko or Rusutsu in March 07. But no idea where to go in early January hence I got the redeemed tickets to TYO on 5JAN. First of all, to replenish my snowboard supplies in Tokyo on first day and spend one week in ski resorts. Is there any resort like Niseko United

Thanks! Guys. I randomly picked Ishiuchi in last season. It was not bad. Since there are so many and many ski resorts in Japan. I'm not sure which is better for snowboarding. I just went to Queenstown last month. Remarkables and Coronet Peak are the classic examples. Remarkables is extremely not good for snowboarders. Some friends say Naeba, Rusutsu, Niesko, etc. Really no idea going to which. Personally, I like to spend few days for freeride and few days at terrain parks.

Guys, Winter 07 is coming, I am planning to have 2 snow trips in Japan. Each trip will be 7-9 days, any recommendation? Thanks!
