    snow trip

    Go for Niseko or Gala Yuzawa in Japan. Niseko is 2 hour bus ride from Sapporo, snow is brilliant but you wont have a chance to check out Tokyo whereas Gala Yuzawa is 1.5 hour ride on fast train from Tokyo, snow is great, three mountains and the gondola is at the station. Also cheap.

    go west

    Whoa, how did I never think of India? It looks pretty cool -- the real deal .... Flickr ?? Snow Boarding at Auli, Uttaranchal ?????@@AMEPARAM@@http://farm1.static.flickr.com/60/200964528_86f0076133_m.jpg@@AMEPARAM@@200964528@@A MEPARAM@@86f0076133

    I think flights to get there are still a bit expensive. (We are not really on a Hong Kong expat budget, more like a middle-class North American payscale....)

    We are seriously considering Korea as it looks like we could amuse ourselves in Seoul with daily trips out of the city to check out snow worlds galore!
