sutebun 0 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 FOUR DAYS IN NISEKO COMING UP. the excitement is killing me. I just want my last two days of work to be over with!! last year I didn't even ride four times. only twice. and one of them was "hatsu-suberi" christmas time stuff (non-hokkaido) so it wasn't good at all. And I'll be riding alone at least half of these 4 days, so it's gonna be continuous and endless runs. With whiskey or beer. When bored I will offer a sip of whiskey to the person next to me on the lift. Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Hi Memphis Hawk and welcome. I've never been to those places and would like to. My camera is urging me to go to Hakkoda. Very keen to hear and see about them anyway. Good to have a group of people on here, up there so to speak. Link to post Share on other sites
Memphis Hawk 2 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Come on up! Hakkoda is getting dumped on daily. I posted a video from Naqua on here the other day.. Just a quick snippet to show how much snow there was and how good I am at a complete wipeout! I wanna get to Shiga Kogen this year too if I can, but unlikely I imagine.

Thundercat 60 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Just decided on two more days... next Monday and Tuesday (Dec 26-27) at Myoko Kogen. Will spend the days at Akakan and Akakura Onsen. I've been able to book a crazy cheap accommodation that includes one day lift pass for 5300¥ per person. First time I've used this system so I'll let everyone know how it turns out! Link to post Share on other sites
panhead_pete 27 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I'm up for a beer one night Steve. On my way now, over nighting in Syd tonight and arr midnight tomorrow. Qantas girl at the airport "how much does that board bag weigh?" me "oh less then 20kg for sure"." No drama take it down to over size and have a great flight." A LOT easier than I thought Link to post Share on other sites

Aily 0 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Hi All I just booked my ticket to Tokyo and will be in Hakuba from 11th to 17th Feb 2012. So so excited as I've never boarded Japan before. With that in mind, does anyone have any suggestions where i should base myself, in terms of which resort and perhaps a decent hotel/hostel to stay that won't break the bank? Which parts of Hakuba are NOT to be missed? Any advice would be much appreciated. Would be cool to catch up for a slide or beer with people. Cheers Big Ears Aily Link to post Share on other sites
