Thanks Muika - I'll check it out. Sounds convenient.

Thanks Muikabochi. We are Tokyo based so probably Nagano or Niigata - somewhere not too involving too many long bus rides, what with all the gear, buggy etc etc. We have a car so could drive, although more convenient on train we reckon. Hope that helps.

Hey there. My wife and I are avid snowboarders but that passion has had to take a back seat for the last couple of years as the kids have arrived! I got my 3 yr-old on skis for the first time this year and we have an infant as well who is up for a roll in the snow. I am looking for a resort to take them to next weekend, where there is a good kids' park, some very shallow slopes for the mini-skier to practice on and maybe a decent onsen or two. Who knows, my wife or I might even get a run or two in ourselves, but that's not really a priority, as much as we would love to. So, am throwing it out
