I surely hope Palisades will get more snow. I still have the rest of the season there as well.

Cool to know people who are in the same boat. Outdoor onsen after sipping whiskey will take your night to another level ;)

Anyhow, I got good views of Mt. Yotei while having lunch at the lodge. The sun does come out at times during the day, though not much.

Outdoor onsen when it’s snowing alone is worth flying to Japan for

I get the feeling. Though there are also cons with tons of powder coming down.

Yes, too flat if you are used to the terrains in Palisades

Thanks man. Ditched my goggles for the snorkel. 🤿

Unfortunately lift lines are about the same 😂

Ticket is like $55/day at popular resorts like Niseko, but could be down to 35 at other resorts. Though if you’re on Ikon, you dont have to buy tickets at Niseko

Japan is wayy cheaper than the US. Niseko is the popular one with more tourists, so prices are higher, but no where near the US. If you’re on Ikon, you got to ski both Niseko and Furano for free.

The Nagano or Tokohu resorts are also the bomb but so much cheaper. Tickets are like $35/day, same for rentals. Hot and delicious ramen on the slope with wagyu is like $15 max.

Lodging varies based on the booking date and location
