After some SJFers visited Niseko for the first time, they were so blown away that they vowed to come back for more. Only next time, on a tour of Hokkaido.

Given the destination and perhaps the time for Feb 2011, what would be a good itinerary for the SJFers tour? All suggestions welcomed for an enjoyable discussion.

Perhaps this would get off the ground if the timings and places are to people's liking.

I'd definitely be up for that especially when you buy that penthouse in the Vale! smile

I am doing that right now, I am visiting the major resorts of Furano, Tomamu and Sahoro, done Rusutsu and Niseko already. I am also visiting Sounyko and Abashiri and finding lots of smaller stops along the way. Hire a car and go exploring for three weeks.

Ski Bum has a good trip it sound like.

Niseko, Kiroro, Tiene, Furano, Tomamu.

There are a bunch of little areas around that are worth a visit. Niseko Moiwa and Chisenupuri if its been snowing is good.

I may be interested in hooking up with you guys from down south for a week or so. Have wheels so may be able to help with some of the transport or logistics.

nice asb. Id like to see Furano with a better base than what we had, and some better snow as well. Have you taken any pics?

You could put me down as tentative, sounds sensational and happy to go with the flow re destinations smile

We need to define dates really - GN, any chance we could crash at yours for a bit?

As Sapparo-providing customers unless Thursday buys the penthouse at the Vale?

I might be interested - I certainly want to check out Hokkaido and it would be fun. My problem would be not knowing dates until much much nearer the time. But I would be interested in joining up for at least part probably.
