Hi, I'm going o Japan for a couple of weeks in April to visit friends, and I am thinking of vising Shiga-Kogen on the 8th and 9th of April to do a bit of skiing. Could anyone give me some advice on the following:
1. I understand that most of the resorts only open weekends after the 6th of April. I made a few calls though and found out that Kuma-no-yu and Yokoteyama have some lifts running on weekdays. Which of these two would be better for beginners (I have skied a fair bit before, but my kids are beginners).
2. We will be in a hire car with "normal" tyres. Will the roads be passable all
