black diamond 0 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 that's not funny Thursday...Tomamu does not get alot of snow at the best of years. The first season we went about 6 different weekends and always found powder, but I've experienced it once and have been told it can get ugly. Oh well more family time right? But it stays cold there so if it's nasty at the resort, hire a guide to take you to the powder. You may have to hike, but there will be some powder somewhere even if it hasnn't snowed for weeks thanks to the frigid temps. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted December 4, 2009 Author Share Posted December 4, 2009 I just took it for granted that there'd be tons of powder every where. Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 We got a quote from Tomamu direct. 45K per room per night at the Tower. Galleria booked out. OUCH!!! But we sucked it up. Today, got a quote back from my wife's company's travel aget. HALF that price in the same room in the Tower. Cheaper than Niseko basic. WOOOOOOOOTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
