Hi, looking to do 3 nights in March 2010 in Nozawa with 2 young children and grandparents. Has anybody here stayed at either Kiriya or Nozawa Grand? Cost wise it's working out to be about the same. I need advice on location and the feel of each place. What about English speaking staff? Any info on these 2 places much appreciated. Cant find that much on the net. Thanks!

Thanks for responses. Hmm, I think we'll still consider Nozawa. And Hakuba too. Seems like the accommodations at Hakuba look a lot more varied. Thanks again.

Hi all, I am just starting to plan our first 'ski' trip to Japan for mid March 2010. I say "ski" because only 2 out of 7 people in our party ski. We are a party of an intermediate father, a 5 year old who's gonna have his first ski lesson, non-skiing grandparents and mom, as well as a 1 year old and his nanny. So, in reality, this would be 30% ski and 70% chilling out/walking around. So, we are looking for a resort with an easy-immediate course that is convenient to get to from the hotel/ryokan and offers instruction for children. As the grandparents and the baby will not be skiing,
