Hirakata 0 Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Hi all, this is my first post. It's my last winter in Japan (was here last year too) as my contract is finishing and I need to get a REAL job somewhere probably back home in Aus. Heading to Hakuba December 23 to December 30 (8 days). Going to stay at Mont Blank (anyone stayed here?) so will mostly explore 47/Goryu, but want to try some other resorts too. Recommendations? Iwatake? Cortina/Norikura? Went to Happo and Tsugaike last year. Tsugaike was AMAZING for beginner/intermediates like me and my girlfriend. Will visit for a day during this trip too. Also planning to visit Myoko Kougen (Suginohara), Nozawa Onsen and Shiga Kougen later in the season on extended weekend trips. Good idea? This may be my last snow season in Japan for many years!! Thanks Snow Japan and everyone for all the good info on this site. Link to post Share on other sites

Only a very small ski jo, but at 10000 yen and can go every day in dec and march for that price was to go an opportuniity to miss. Also got cheap tickets for Koumi and Nobeyama too.
