How can I afford to snowboard or ski in Japan?

How can you possibly afford to get here, ride here, and stay here long enough to actually see Japan?

If your name is Biff or Buffy, you can ask grand-mama for the cash. For the rest of us, it's much harder.

My suggestion - join the military or work for the U.S. government in Japan. Younger folks should consider the Air Force or Navy. Why those two branches? They have more folks here.
