Resort data says no, so possibly not?

Thanks for all your input peoples, and after many, many hours looking at resorts and places to stay, I finally decided on Nozawa Onsen and I got a pretty good package deal at Lodge Nagano.

Are there any specific resorts that anyone would recommend? I'd just like to narrow the search down a bit.

So hopefully I can still match it. Thanks again

We want a place where we can hire gear on site and be ski-in ski-out from our lodgings. Shiga Kogen seems to come up fairly often, but I am really green about all this and there is just way t
