From all the reading I’ve done (including the horrible weather forecast for the week I’m there) Cortina is getting the most snow (although it is a fair distance from town) other than that Goryu/hakuba47?

Ahh ok good to know, I had packed long sleeve tops/thermals for under my jacket on the mountain and skins for my legs.

For night time/town I was just planning tshirt/jeans/jacket.

But considering the fact I’d never seen snow until the winter 2011 I still haven’t learnt how cold things can get.

Maybe being a fleece too for under your jacket… Yeah it gets bloody cold at night! You need a coat for walking around I reckon
