mandycooke

snosurf, thanks for your comments re niseko. i am kind of starting to think the way you said. i guess i should go there at least once hey! (btw, didn't sound patronising. good call really!) fattwins, mid dec is from 9th til 21st....only time i've got, so no choice. if i could leave booking til then i would, but i presume i would miss out if i did that..? snosurf...if the hot girls are gonna be in europe, where the hot guys gonna be?

thanks heaps for all your replies. seems dec may not be the best bet, but it's the only extended time off i have. will definately be looking to do some weekend trips later in the season. dizzy, thanks for the kudos ?@#??@! i've done seasons at whistler and mt bachelor (oregon). looking for mt bachelor rather than whistler, but i guess the big resorts are big for a reason, so maybe i'll end up at knee-sec-ko this time round...

Hey there, I'm new to this whole forum thing, but have been reading and see that some people are quite experienced! I hope nobody gets upset because they think my topic has been covered before, but I promise I read many previous discussions and didn't find the info I'm really after. So, here goes... I'm a snowboarder with season experience in north america. I'm a newbie Tokyo resident and looking to go to Hokkaido for 2 weeks in mid december. i'm looking for a place to go that is a low key resort/ski area with awesome powder (obviously). Niseko sounds great and maybe i'll go there somet
