OK, so Fuji is a waste of time. It seemed like a good idea when I thought of it... So I have 5-6 days in Japan, what do I do? Any idea how I can find some local folks to hook up with?

I'd like to extend my stay, but no can do...saved all my vacation to go to Denali next year. I guess I'm not fully committed to doing Fuji, but it is such a pretty mountain that begs to be skied. Maybe I should rephrase - Fuji or b/c. The only thing is I won't be traveling with anyone, so if I'm going b/c then I'll have to find some local folks. Thought this might be a good place...If not, I guess I'll have to pay for my turns. Oh, and thanks for not taking me for a gumby or a noob from the UK/Australia! Thing is, I just moved to Seattle a couple of weeks ago...

Optimistic for now...I haven't found much good information on accessing Fuji in winter. If I can start from the 5th station it doesn't seem so bad (weather permitting of course!). If not, well...maybe I'd be better off doing other stuff.

Hi! I'm going to be in Japan from the 26th-31st of January and will be bringing my telemark gear. I definitely plan on skiing Mt. Fuji, but want to spend a couple other days skiing some backcountry if I can find a partner or resorts otherwise. Specifically, I'm looking for the following information: -On climbing/skiing Mt. Fuji, access issues too -Where are good backcountry destinations easily reachable from Tokyo -Where to find backcountry partners -If I can't find partners, what the resorts with the best terrain are. Thanks for the help, can't wait to go!! -Casey
