Say we just rocked up in Japan on 18th of April, looked at this website and found a place with good conditions at the time (cos it sounds like that might be a good idea) do you think generally at that time of year it would be fairly easy to book accommodation at most resorts?

Was referring to people who book ski tours for people, I guess travel agents in a way but not ones based in perth. We werent planning on booking any kind of tour, I just thought they might have useful info. But I can definitely see your point gareth, might not give the most unbiased information I guess! Im glad I did find this forum

Thanks for the info! We will definitely check a bit later on to see how conditions are looking. Originally we were thinking of Niseko but I contacted a couple of people who do ski tours there and they said not to bother in April, so I dont really know what to think. But maybe would be safer to aim for somewhere in Honshu anyway so its not too far out of the way of everything else we want to do in case conditions are bad. I would like to see other parts of Hokkaido but think we might run out of time... I should probably mention I have never skiied before! Although my boyfriend has. T

A question, were going to Japan in April, arriving on the 18th, and we really want to go skiing for a few days. Which place (if any) do you think would have the best conditions at this time of year? If we were to go skiing we would probably do it first. If theres going to be nowhere good to go we will prob give skiing a miss.
