OfficiallyWorried 0 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Hi all Well my friends and I had a holiday (loosely) planned in a few places in Nagano and Niigata but we're seriously considering making a few changes and going north due to the snow conditions. It just doesn't seem to be happening in those places this season and doesn't look like there's much on the horizon on the short term and they seem to be saying a 'warmer than usual March' as well. That doesn't sound too tempting. On the other hand, Niseko seems to be having a very decent season up there. It would involve a bit of cost, but we're ok with that as taking the trip to be rained on and have late spring conditions in early March doesn't sound that appealing to be honest. What you reckon?

Thundercat 60 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I say go to Hokkaido. In my experience, when we have the kind of the season we are having in Nagano/Niigata area things tend to end quickly here. I'm actually considering a trip to Niseko mid-March myself after what I witnessed at a few of my regular resorts (in Niigata) last weekend. Unless there are some really epic snowfalls soon (highly doubtful) I won't be heading back to Niigata this season. Don't get me wrong, I've been lucky with some really great conditions but I have the luxury of being able to make day trips and get random days off when we are blessed with snow. Good luck! Hope you get some great days! Link to post Share on other sites
Myoko Guy 0 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 If you can easily change then do so. Better safe than sorry. However, that said, there could still be some big dumps in Niigata/Nagano around that time. Link to post Share on other sites

@tokyo 14 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I'd do it if I were you (and had the cash). Link to post Share on other sites

yoroshiku onegai shimasu 2 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Out of interest, what sort of difference in costs will you be looking at? Link to post Share on other sites
OfficiallyWorried 0 Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 Not quite sure yet in the process... Link to post Share on other sites
OfficiallyWorried 0 Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 The only additional cost looks like it's going to be the flight really, but we'll make up on that with a bit of a deal on some accommodation. All good. Link to post Share on other sites
