Go with TJ!

But besides that we booked everything direct. Contact the highmont direct.

No need to book through a travel agent (though always check if they can get you a good deal like the one TJ mentioned) 

I can’t remember the last holiday i booked sololy thru an agent. But can appreciate it would be quite daunting if you are not a frequent travel.

So go to Niseko / Hakuba and not Hokkaido? AWESOME!

P.S. Gamblor if you are around, I’d be keen to grab a beer (or Saki) with you mate while im in Hakuba / Tokyo.

I saw their posters and they just seem more expensive than the Liquid snow tours I posted above… They may do a good deal as they are a sponsor though… I remember Jez saying they give 15% off… thats $150 off a $1000 tour…

From what I heard you have to actually say that as a boardworld sponsor, I heard you guys do 15% off..

They gave me $5 off per person when I did their Jindy Tour (though it was only $165 anyways lol…)

The Lab. It seems like a good place, plenty of younger crowd and a decent bar on site.

Push your holidays 1 or 2 weeks later and do Hakuba 2nd and we can ride together smile
