skidaisuki 0 Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Steve, you're booked now - but assuming that you haven't decided yet which resort to go to or where to stay, it's worth pointing out that staying in close to the slopes needn't be expensive. I've met some lucky people in previous winters who've had the time to stay in Hakuba at various budget lodges where it'll only cost 3,000-4,000 yen a night (e.g. Hakuba Alps Backpackers) for several weeks. Sure, you have to self-cater but the accomodation's warm, dry and close to the slopes. Often the hostel owners will drive you around if you ask them politely, as well. I like Shiga Kogen more as a place to ski, but it's more expensive and after last season all of Japan's resident skiing and boarding community became ultra-fussy about snow quality as there was so much good snow everywhere for a while Link to post Share on other sites
