Probably best to go in August to miss the Aussie crowds . Seriously, those dates look quite good, but you're always at the whim of nature. -
Hokkaido 2 resort holiday

Easy answer then: check Places to Stay/Niseko on the main page. You don't need to rent a car for entire trip, but can for day trips to Rusutsu & Kiroro, maybe even Kokusai. As Seemore points out, there's more than enough to keep you busy, don't bother overthinking it, just go and have a great time. -

Could smoke two Cohibas and three Seven Stars at the same time, exhaling through four nasal ports -- OUTSTANDING!

Solo? Do you drive? Need nightlife? Expert/beginner/somewhere in-between? Own gear or renting? Want `Japan' or just `powder' or both? Backcountry experienced or resort only? -

There's a pair of skis I'm itching to buy, but have to sell some present models to make it happen -- not the cost, but the house rule of ``one in, one out'' on stuff. -
What does 'kokusai' mean?

There's quite a few of them on youtube, oo. Some are the classic tales, others outside ``the canon.'' -
Seems to make it worse, in fact.
