Escondido? Never been there. Is that down south? > Colorado boy? Jeff

What great info. Thanks a bunch. So the area is not as unspoiled as I had thought. Being a Yank it does not surprise me that I somehow fell for the hype. It sounds like Feb. might be a better bet for fresh snow but more crowds, pensions for better cultural immersion with better prices and if I plan right no need for a car. One more question. So whats the next hidden gem in Japan? Jeff

I am planning a ski trip to Niseko in early March and was hopeing for some guidence from those in the know. Not knowing anyone that has skied in Japan I am flying blind so some local advice would prove invaluable while I plan my trip. Any help is greatly appreciated. Please correct me if my impressions of the area are wrong. First, I chose this region for the quality of snow, smaller resorts, less hype and a better cultural experience. I have grown up staying away from the mega resorts in North America and hope to enjoy that same low key vibe on this trip. I don`t want a western vacation.
