Sup NS-

 My friend and I are planning on doing a two week trip to japan next season. The problem here is that we have no idea about the north island of Japan in general. All we know is that the snow is epic in the north and thats pretty much the only reason.
My question here is:
1.The best places, resorts, mountains? (we would like to ski the places with best powder but would also appreciate some parks with sick rails.)
2. How much does it cost?(Flight, hotels, food, etc.)
3. Is it worth the time and money?

Thanks for helping, NS- I'll appreciate it.

1.Just go to Niseko. Everyone else does. It's the easiest place to get to.

2.Niseko has a park.

3.It'll be quite expensive. But the Yen is quite weak at the moment, so your Yankee Dollars will go further. It'll be worth it.

There's a load of info on NS, and elsewhere online, but this answers your questions. There are a load of other ski areas in Hokkaido, snowier, cheaper and less crowded than Niseko. But they're not as easy to get to, and find accomodation in etc.

If you have any other specific questions, drop me a message.
