So it looks Hakuba is going to have little to no snow base for early december.... so I'm thinking about going to niseko/northern island for december, then hakuba for 15 days in january.

So where is the cool places to go in niseko? I hate drunk Australians so quieter hills are preferred (feel free to PM me some spots) is it worth paying for a tour? Or even better is there any place that will let me hire a car without an international license? Any advice is mucho appreciated

Ditch the overcrowded/overrated Niseko and head to the areas outside Asahikawa. Niseko has lost most of its Japanese culture, thanks ya shitty loud drunken fratboy aussies... haha

(You'll still have a blast in Niseko, but it's just kind of that place everyone goes because they don't know any better, there really are better options. If you're going because you have an Ikon pass don't even worry, most ski area lift tickets outside of asahikawa are only like 4000-6000 yen which is like 35-55 bucks)

Niseko is sweet. Probably the biggest mountain in that area. The drunk aussies aren't too bad and often they're too hungover to get up and ski so there's a lot of days you can score freshies later into the day. The place is kinda overrun by tourists though. Check out rusutsu for sure. Way quieter and more japanese culture going on. I never went but see if you can check out Osahidake (might be spelt wrong) That place is meant to be the shit!

Japan can be done heaps cheap. Organise it yourself and it won’t cost much and you will have an amazing time.
There is a lot of groups out there ripping off the bogan (redneck) cashed up Aussies because they are lazy fucks who want everything done for them, and they have cash to burn because we have a lot of unskilled uneducated people getting paid way to much, which is also why our economy is fucked. Enough rant.
Stay away from Niseko because this is where they flock to. I hate them, being an Aussie also these people make me very embarrassed to call myself Australian, and I make an effort to avoid the areas they flock to.
