The Nisei Ski Club is part of BAC (“Bay Area Snow Sports Council”) and is eligible for FWSA (“Far West Ski Association”) trips. This year, FWSA is traveling to Hakuba and Niseiko in Japan. Sandy Kiyomura skied in Hakuba over 10 years ago and heard that Niseiko is supposed to be the place to ski.
Here is information from Debbie Stewart of FWSA about the trip:
I am delighted to be offering such an exciting trip with an incredible price and exceptional value!
The Niseko PRE-TRIP will be offered in conjunction with the BASIC Hakuba Valley ski trip and is based on a minimum of 22 people and is limited to 34 so don’t wait!
The BASIC Hakuba Valley Ski Week will include 9 ski resorts to choose from (some EPIC PASSES are Valid there!), 7 nights lodging at the 5-Star Tokyu Hotel, 4 dinners at the hotel, an authentic Japanese dinner show and 2 nights to dine an any of the local restaurants. We’ll be offering optional day tours during the week if one chooses to explore the local culture including a visit to see the famous “Snow Monkeys”!
The extension trip will be to Kanazawa, Kyoto and Tokyo. While in Tokyo, an optional day tour to Mt. Fuji will be offered.
If one chooses to not go to Hakuba Valley Ski Resort, we will fly you from the US to join us for the extension trip – we call this the “Stand Alone” trip. This will only be offered to experienced travelers.
