Some time around January 20, we wanted to visit Japan for some skiing. We have the Ikon pass so Niseko looks attractive (but if there are better places we can go there also/instead).
Where do we stay?
How do we get there from southern California?
My son is in Osaka. How does he get there? His time off work might be limited so airport ease might be a factor on resort choice for part of the trip.
Do we need (want) a car?
How soon should we book?
Will we get steep, deep and light powder?
Should we bring skis or rent? Or buy to take home? (ID One bump skis sound fun to have at Squaw.)
How cold will it be for pansy California skiers?
Thanks for any input.
