Hi guys Im looking for some good, experienced advice for a first trip to japan.
I want to go to Japan, I want to snowboard, but where should i go?
I lived in NZ last year and started snowboarding and loved it. But I have never boarded through trees or experienced deep powder and the stories of japan....
I have been living in the west australian "winter" for the whole of '13 and Im keen to do anything and everything in Japan. But so much choice and absolute no local knowledge leaves me in need of some good advice on where to go? (Im thinking late december early january). I have some gear but not all (jacket gloves) - is it easy to take all your gear with you?.
I dont mind doing commercial resort thing but prefer the less beaten track:) It seems Nisenko has incredible snow and tree runs but obviously very touristy (which i dont mind as long as its worth it)
any advice would be greatly appreciated lads.
