hinking to come to Japan for skiing for about 3 weeks. I was in Niseko 3 years ago, and I loved it. I thought to spend 10 days in Niseko and 10 days around Nagano, but then I realised that flying back and forward is a kind of waste of time and money, so I will just explore Nagano-ken. I would do 1 week in Nozawa and Togari Onsen, 1 week in the resorts around Shiga (Kijimadaira, Ryuoo Ski Park, Shiga Kogen Yakebitaiyama…) and 1 week in Tsugaike area (just close to Hakuba). I will also visit Zenko-ji in Nagano and spend a day in Mastumoto. It seems some resorts have already nice condition

I live in Switzerland, and this season I went skiing only twice: very few spring snow (wet and heavy). For the next few days, it will rain. Then it will get warmer. Flowers are in blossom in my place. I wonder how I will look like in spring... Just forget the Alps for skiing. About big snowfall, that was 20 years ago. In places where they were doing summer skiing in the 80's (1 m of snow still in July) now is totally dry already in june. Now if they get 2 or 3 big dump in a season they are really lucky. When it snows 30 cm they say it is a lot. Some resorts run the whole season wit
