veronica 2 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Why the need for outside of Japan? My "exotic" target is Zao. Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Not really exotic but I'd go to Revelstoke if I had the chance... Link to post Share on other sites
zdlfskdladealijfsxdfk 0 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 What is exotic, hey? Japan is pretty 'exotic', or it was when I first came here! Link to post Share on other sites

SKI 15 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I'd love to spend some good time in Utah. Not going to happen in the next few though. Tohoku is feeling pretty exotic to me. Or somewhere like Argentina/Chile. Link to post Share on other sites
panhead_pete 27 Posted January 25, 2011 Author Share Posted January 25, 2011 Sorry should have mentioned, have no interest in going to the US Thinking somewhere else then Japan as have already been once this season so am thinking of a change. Link to post Share on other sites
rider69 18 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 India or Russia Link to post Share on other sites
mitchpee 10 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 pffft fine Gulmarg, India is extremely good from what I have heard. Bit of an adventure too, it is on my list of things to do. I would highly recommend Utah though, snow is going to beat anywhere in Chile, Argentina, Europe and similar if not better landscaping. Link to post Share on other sites

Go Native 70 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Originally Posted By: Mr Wiggles Heliskiing on that Russian peninsula near Japan. A quick google will find the name. Kamchatka peninsula. Don't know if they have much heli mid winter. Generally March and April I think. Too bloody cold, snowy and windy ealier on I think. It's definitely on my radar of things to do in the future. Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Japan still the top of my exotic list. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Iran.....Macedomia......Bulgaria.......Slovenia......dunno about the snow conditions there, they do have ski resorts and all sound pretty off the beaten track (ok Bulgaria isn't really, but it is a shit hole which equals exotic in some peoples books! ) Link to post Share on other sites
aljuarez 0 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Sierra Nevada in Souther Spain. Visit the gorgous, moorish city and then ski with with a view of the Mediterranean and the Atlas Mountains in Morocco. It's quite developed for skiing, too Link to post Share on other sites
brit-gob 9 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 You thinking of neglecting Japan, pete? Link to post Share on other sites
panhead_pete 27 Posted January 27, 2011 Author Share Posted January 27, 2011 Actually the opposite, looks like I may well be spending large amounts of time there in the coming years and looking to go somewhere else this time so really appreciate everyone's input. Funny how things happen but I was invited to a 30th in Morocco last night during the period I'm off work and think I'll hit that and go surfing for a couple weeks with some incountry boarding here in China to bookend that trip. Its been a hellish 10 days at work and Im completely buggered, some time on a beach sounds just right. Link to post Share on other sites
