and to give you an idea of the snow, you can see schad or szocs (forget which) in propaganda ripping through a tree run in chest deep pow. japan is on the coast, so they get more than enough snow...you should be fine.

Japan ski is nuts, and you will see that if you go in a ski centre, there is so many people in asia,its crazy how crowded the hill will be, and at the end of the day, its bumpy everywhere like a bump course. And that is why occidental bump skier are idolize n japan...

Going out of bounds is illegal in Japan, so if you're willing to jump a rope, you can get fresh snow weeks after it has snowed. And it snows A LOT.

I heard it wasn't that expensive, because for the olympics they built a lot of stuff, and now there's a lot of competition to get customers, so their prices are low... or at least lower than they used to be. I have a friend from japan who skis there and likes it.

I actually spent 2 months in asia and had a chance to ski in Japan...a rather interesting experience to say the least. Tickets are about what they are here...I paid like 55 bucks or so I think. Dont really remember cause its all Yen. Check out http://www.vill.hakuba.nagano.jp/e/index.htm thats where I went, it was great skiing when I was there cause it actually snowed for a few days before I got there. And like was said before the japanese dont really leave the trails. Where you go skiing all depends on where you are, the public transit system is great with all the trains there. For info check out http://www.skijapanguide.com/index.php
As an american/canadian on twins you will immediately be attracting tons of attention. I had kids asking for my autograph and stuff.

The hude indoor snow hill in Japan is being demolished I heard.

As for mountains, I've seen a few old snowboard videos and it looked great. In one of them, there was so much powder that the chairlifts were just a few feet from the snow's surface, no kidding.

Save your money and ski in the US or Canada. I have never heard anything above mediocre about Japan skiing.

skiing here is kinda cheap if you get a season pass. it all depends on mountains but it cost about 5 houndred bucks or so. price of a day pass is the same in the US and Canada. There are good resorts in the northern island and north of tokyo.

Yea the big indoor place in Tokyo closed a season or two ago because of how expensive it was. There definitely is a ton of natural, good skiing to be had there. I had the chance to go there last summer, and I saw the mountains, and the view is just like the view off the top of whistler

A friend of mine was at the World Student Games in Italy this winter. He said the Japanese guy who won pipe (snowboard) had a halfpipe built in his back yard. No joke.
