Hi everyone, I'm planning first trip to Japan for January 2009 and it'll only be our second time on skis (first time was a really small resort in Lebanon a few years ago)! Also we'll be with our 6 year old son who's only seen the snow once in his life. Here's what we're looking for:
1. A smallish resort where we won't get too embarrassed by our inability to stand up, ski, stop........
2. Somewhere where our son can build snowmen, throw snowballs and sledge in relative peace and quiet
3. A little bit of nightlife of the very very low key variety
4. Reasonably priced family friendly
