Most of the majors you can get to easily, it is the smaller resorts that are harder to get to, you need transportation, etc. There used to be that snow buddy finder...maybe a revival is in order?

NoFakie 45 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Somewhere inland in Hokkaido. Steep would be nice. Shirakawa-go when lit up Somewhere with snow monsters (probably Zao I suppose) Yokoteyama (have to learn to ski good because no boarding) Somewhere with cool locals (e.g., Hachimantai if it reopens) Link to post Share on other sites

Gnu B-pro 0 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Wanna go to Hakuba, but not sure that riding in March there is comfortable. Can anyone advise me about conditions in March? Link to post Share on other sites
griller 9 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Bottomless! Should be ok. Check the previous reporting on the Hakuba Now section from other seasons to get an idea. Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 It's not a ski resort but I tell you what I really want to go see is the pack ice up in the Sea of Okhotsk from Abashiri or around near Shiritoko. I've never seen the ocean covered in ice and would really like to. Think I might have to take a couple of days off next week and head up... Link to post Share on other sites
