ah.heng

Thanks. Is it immediately in the area of the station?

In either Tokyo or Kobe. I suppose Tokyo is better since I know my way around. I'd probably spend half the day lost in Kobe.

Was reading the journals and c-squared mentioned seeing 4 avalanches in Nozawa. Is it still safe to make the trip there or should I pick another area? Another journal mentioned that there isn't enough snow in that area left to make the trip worth it. I'm not interested in the onsens or any sightseeing, I just want to ski, I suppose I should search for other areas? If possible, I'd like to go to an area that's still snowing. I'd like to see what falling snow looks like. Hey, I wouldn't even mind being trapped in a snowstorm

Sir Jibalot - nope, never been there. I had prefered for my 1st experience to be with some real snow. When you say ski wear is rentable, exactly what is rentable? I'm not really sure what I need to buy. I'm assuming jackets & pants, masks, goggles, gloves. dumbstick - no way, I don't want to wait any longer. I waited the entire winter away thinking it'd snow but no, not at all. Well only once, for like an hour. I can't wait any longer, will go crazy.

Hi, just a quick introduction, I grew up in Singapore and have never seen nor touched snow before. I've been busy with university entrance exams ever since November, currently living in Tokyo, but will be moving to Kobe sometime in the next 2 weeks. I'd like to go ski/board sometime after then, though I'm not sure if I'll even be able to spare any time for it. I'm shooting at sometime between march 25th to april 6th. I will most probably be going by myself since nobody I know seems the least interested. I would like to stay for around a week if my budget allows, I intend to try out both skis a
