sweetcaroline 0 Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Not been yet but we are planning on a trip to Hokkaido and I imagine it will be Niseko, Rusutsu or Furano that is first. Link to post Share on other sites

seedy 0 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 First one I went to was Kuruamayama in Nagano. Not a well known one but it was pretty decent actually, the snow was really good. Surprising as there was hardly any 20 minutes out at the bottom of the mountain. Link to post Share on other sites

Endless Winter 0 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Iwapparra. It was also my first time to snowboard which was great since it's good resort for beginners. My first powder experience was in Niseko. That's when I thought, hey now this is different. Link to post Share on other sites
