Hey there SnowJapan Folks!
My buddies and I are headed to Japan for a month in Feb and have 3 weeks of it to ski. Were looking for advice (and local's favorites if your willing to share ) about where to go.

So far we are looking at spending a week in Hokkaido (Asahidake seems like a good fit), then a week in Hakkoda. The third week is up in the air and we are wondering if it is worth it to
