gozaimaas 61 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 indeed a long drive from Niseko But if you were to do the drive, which way would you go? Link to post Share on other sites
igloo 3 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Via Mt Granview, to check out a REAL resort. Link to post Share on other sites
gozaimaas 61 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Personally I would do the BIG 3. Hakuba, Mt Granview and Niseko Link to post Share on other sites
Wizz 11 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Mt Granview needs to be the last though. Anything else is a setup for severe disappointment. Link to post Share on other sites
Wizz 11 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Lowdown on Mt Granview for all newcomers http://www.snowjapanforums.com/index.php/topic/21632-mt-granview-watch-or-the-japanese-ski-resort-to-watch-for-the-1213-season/ Link to post Share on other sites
NECK 14 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Rusutsu has some amazing lines and definitely worth a day trip from Niseko if you are there for a week or more Link to post Share on other sites
seemore 66 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Neck of Neck its rubbish and not worth the drive Niseko is the bomb seemore Link to post Share on other sites

seemore 66 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Thats what I have been telling everyone But noone believes me they might now since I have shaved off my mo seemore Link to post Share on other sites
NECK 14 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Seemore, Niseko is obviously better . I had an awesome time at Rusutsu as a day away from Niseko. My ride buddy had spent some time there before and guided me to taste some seriously good lines! Of course the Hakuba steeps and Otari area beat anything in Hokkaido hands down!

Alexander L 80 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 How far is Mt. Granview from Niseko? Link to post Share on other sites
Slippery Jim 65 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 You can't get there from there. It's in a completely different dimension. Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted December 8, 2012 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted December 8, 2012 Not sure if this is the quickest route, but to give everyone an idea http://www.snowjapan.com/e/route-finder/japan-resort-directions-large.php?addresses=Sports%20Shinko%20Ishiuchi(resort%3D247)ANDNiseko%20Grand%20Hirafu(resort%3D120)&avoidHighways=false&avoidTolls=false&travelMode=DRIVING Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Not sure if this is the quickest route, but to give everyone an idea http://www.snowjapan...velMode=DRIVING Surely you want the reverse, from Niseko to Mt. Granview? Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted December 8, 2012 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted December 8, 2012 Very good point! Link to post Share on other sites
Alexander L 80 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 So it's doable with the ferry. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 It'd be worth a swim even, if the ferry was full. Link to post Share on other sites
