Surfing and or Snowbording

[Anonymous]

I am a certified high school teaching in Canada and I am trying to get a teaching job in Japan for September. The thing is that I want to be able to go Surfing or Snowboarding like every day after class. So my question is Where in Japan would I be best to find a job. I am also wondering as to the best type of schools to work in? What is a competitive wage? Are some companies better then others? Will schools reimburse the cost of the fight? Are their school that provide and pay for accommodation?

Thanks

Nagano is by far the best place to ski or snowboard.

I live in Gunma(next to Nagano) for three years and Nagano is by far they best in Japan.

Joetsu in Niigata next door to Nagano is also a great area. Madrao Kogen, Myoko kogen,
Arai, Akakura,

Kita Shiga Kogen which if I remember correctly is in the North east of Nagano is fantastic for SB, pipes, jumps, moguls for masocists.
Appi further up north is simply my favourite. good amount of black runs
and very few people waiting in line, well at least when I was there anyway.
As Bshabu saud Nagano is his/her favourite. Hakuba in Iwatate comes to mind.
as does the santa cruz ita I broke there.

Oh too live the life as an instructor again! those were the days of hang overs and
onsens full of lovely ladies.
