Slippery Jim 65 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Switch 12/17 from Teine to Sapporo Kokusai as conditions looking better there. Rusutsu or Niseko on 12/18-19, undecided but if anyone wants to meet up give a shout. Niseko 1/14-18, 21-25, 28-2/1, with almost certainly a day or two or three at Rusutsu during those stays. Tangram/Madarao 2/11-13 Link to post Share on other sites

Dunga 1 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 So a long time reader here and 1st time poster. I will be in Hakuba 20-27th of Jan. I have booked with a mate and his dad, but have just found out that he has just got a job in the US which means that he can no longer make it, which also means that his dad is also potentially looking to off load his flights/accom/lift tickets/ transfers ect. I don't know what to do and are thinking im definitely going either way and might be looking for a boarding buddy for the week... If anyone knows of someone keen for a cheap trip 19-28th of jan from Melbourne, let me know. Link to post Share on other sites

snow owl 0 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Newbie to the SJ forum. Been to Zao and Niseko so far. Booked for Niseko from 7 - 14 Mar. Beginners going on to intermediate, hope the slopes are still good till then and not too slushy at base. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 don't believe all the agents talk! The start of March starts to become a bit of a lottery for top notch conditions for sure and days may become variable but in general slopes all round Japan are still in good condition at that time Link to post Share on other sites

HelperElfMissy 42 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Be more excited if you were staying til the 2nd of March! You'll love it classic_harris, and if ya stick around loving the ski scene from the distance of Perth you should try to get to one of our WASTED get togethers. Good excuse to swap 'it was this big' ski tales, practice the après drinking arm and generally network with WA Ski Tragics. Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 whoops 3/2 sorryYou sure you're not a Yankie there CuzzieBro?! Getting your month/date date/month reversed and all. He was just getting into the mindset. Japan uses month/day/year format (or year.month.day). As for the US, noticed on my last trip there that the customs declaration form insists on day/month/year format. Winds of change a-blowing? Link to post Share on other sites
