Hi all, looking for some advice/recommendations.
Group of 8 guys (all 35+) who usually head down to Queenstown each year for a week of skiing/boarding. Next year we’re thinking of mixing it up and heading to Japan to experience some proper snow/runs, but not too sure on the best place to base ourselves.
We’re not chasing a big party scene these days, but would still love somewhere with a few good bars and solid food options.
Skill levels range from intermediate through to advanced.
Budget-wise, we normally spend around $1700nzd-pp all-in for a Queenstown trip (flights, accom, food/drinks, lift passes, car hire, etc). For Japan, we’re thinking closer to $2700nzd-pp — keen to know if that’s realistic or way off.
Would really appreciate any recommendations on resorts/areas to stay, or general tips from people who’ve done a similar trip.
Cheers!
