Cool thanks for the info. Kinda what I figured but I'll probably head there any way as it's the only way to squeeze a season in after working in Australia. I like touring and have all my gear, but I also love to ski by myself and I'm wary of doing that in the back country.

Hey there, this is my first post so I'm sorry if this has been asked before. I'm looking to do a few months skiing in Japan.

I hear there is great tree skiing in Japan at certain resorts, but I'm still not sure if the lines would be steep enough. I've been looking at Rusutsu and from the pictures it seems to be OK at best. I've been skiing at Red Mountain the past couple seasons, a resort known for it's steep, technichally challenging run
