Well Japan is fukin awesome, me and my mate ben were there from 13th Janurary - 15th feburary 2008 staying at a place called hakuba powder lodge in Hakuba, Nagano.
Spent most of our time boarding at hakuba 47 resort but also visited happo-one, yanaba, cortina and iwatake..
will definatley be going back sometime in the future, the snow was amazing, people are nice, food and booze is cheap.. nothing to complain about in a whole month besides a hangover lol..
so yeh, take a look at some pics and feel free to ask away if you have any questions about japan i mite be able to help you!!
cheers
