Thanks for the help everyone. I've decided to book Niseko. Fingers crossed!

Would you think that it'd keep someone with an ok-ish level of skill, and looking to improve, occupied? I like to scare myself a little bit - and the runs look pretty tame from the info I've been able to find online!

I'm planning on being in Japan for about 7 days - of which I'd like to spend 3 days skiing.

Hello everyone. This is my first post here and I was wondering if you might be able to help me! I'm going to be in Tokyo in mid-December (around the 16th-17th) and was hoping to do some skiing. I was initially quite keen on Zao Onsen or Gala Yuzawa, but after looking into it in a bit more detail, it looks like there's a decent chance there won't be snow then. How feasible is it to just turn up in Tokyo and book a few days in advance if there is snow? i.e will trains/accomodation be expensive, and will accomodation easily be available? I understand that there will be skiing
