i was there last year and loved it so much. i live in Taiwan so you can imagine how difficult it was to scape together 5 people to make it a possibility to make it back a second year. does anyone know of any good places for 5 people at a somewhat budgeted price range? i have tried a travel agent through Australia but she seems to be having a tough time with it. and the websites are not much help. any help would be great.

is anyone able to tell me of any stores in hirafu. i am coming from a tropical country and will be in the need for some new gloves. i fully understand i will be getting ripped off being at the bottom of the mountain, therefore i am posting, to maybe find out how to not get ripped of as much but. or at least get ripped off and meet some cool people. there is not much else i can do. 4 days to go.

thanks for the info..so where are the night spots that a person on holiday should go to? we leave niseko friday morning back to the city till saturday for out flights out. also..any places in sapporo that should been seen? though we only have a day there, and will likely be hung over, and barely able to walk from the 4 days of riding.

i will be arriving in 10 days. ih ave been reading the snow report religiously and have come across some places that i cant find on the map. can someone tell me how to get to the The Miharashi Forrest? or at least what lift it is near to? and any other good places to find good riding. and a second thing... what is the night life like there? is it worth going out to find fun outside the hill.. will there be people out during the week. i arrive saturday feb 2nd and ride through wednesday.

i have a pair of dragon.. they are kinda blue, yet with a bit of mirror..dont know that name of the lens..but they are wicked.

well..i have my 2 cents. my local mountain on vancouver island in BC: Mt. Washington is way too low. they currently have the highest snowpack in north america at 380cm MID MOUNTAIN. it is not unheard of for them to have OVER 500CM mid mountain. the only place that comes close is mt baker in washington state.

i have not been on the forum long enough to PM you. but a list of hotels would be wicked..thanks you can email me thanks

anyone have any ideas? any info would be great.

well there are 4 of us..so 2 are a couple then 2 guys.. 2 rooms would be the best but 1 with enough room for 4 comfortable would be okay too. we are looking at about $200-250 US

Hey guys.. just new to the board.. some friends and i are heading up to niseko for chinese new year. feb 1 to 9. does anyone know of any decent budget hotels in sapporo for the feb 1 ((friday night) i realize its the snow festival as well.. but we leave to go up the mountain on saturday, and we can get flights there on friday so we want to do that..all the travel agents have given us hotels that are a bit out of our price range. any info at all would be wonderful thanks cant wait to hit the snow! riegerinthesnow
