snow japan is also handy

Yep, but I get lost in there sometimes due to the sheer amount of resorts and info they have!!!!! LOL

I do like the readers resort reviews/photo’s section…
Very handy on deciding where to go.

Would you consider Rusutsu off the beaten track? The missus and I have 11 days on snow booked in Feb for just after the yuki matsuri in Sapporo. Should be an awesome trip!!

We chose Rusutsu as we’ve been told most tourists gravitate toward niseko and maybe do day trips only to rusutsu.. Hopefully crowds will be minimal. . Also we will be travelling with a 2 year old and rusutsu resort is suposed to have really good child care.

Aww bummer :/

Yeah it’s gonna be crazy. Pretty scared about travelling with a 2yr old, but she’s usually pretty chilled out. Should be an epic trip!.
