thursday 1 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 We headed to Tomamu on 29 December, a clear day in Hokkaido. It was a 50 seater coach for a 2.5 hour trip to the hinterland. The whole coach all to ourselves. Nice start. This is what the trip was about. First snow for the kid. The view from the hotel room. We were on the 32nd floor in the tower looking at the Galleria and the Romance slopes. Ski in ski out He had time to contemplate his line But the next morning, decided to go biking instead. We forgot his international license though. So he gave me that look. But anyway, he settled for this good job he didn't like this and more fun in the snow untill it was time to warm up in this very warm pool. It started to chuck down in the afternoon, and didn't stop for the rest of the time we were there. so the ice village seemed to be the place to be and inside the ice bar and out looking at the nighta and then making one's way home Link to post Share on other sites

NoFakie 45 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Cute kid! No-one on the bus, two big towers but hardly anyone in that massive pool, the ice bar place,.... Makes you wonder. It all looks very nice though. Link to post Share on other sites
Ross 4 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Thanks for sharing the photos Thursday.I looked into that resort early in 2009 is it the one you can catch a train from Sapporo air port to the resort.And do you think there is enough there to keep a family with teenagers busy for 7to 10days thanks Roscoe Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 The Galleria Suites in pic 2 were fully booked out. They have the Jacuzzi in the room looking onto the slopes. They cost about 6man per night when I asked and they said "sorry fully booked" I was there over the new year. And there were lots of people in the hotels and restaurants. Only when you get to go doing the things you do at the resort do you wonder where the hell are the people. Link to post Share on other sites

Unless you book some heli, cat, backcountry touring, snowmobile riding on consecutive days. I wrote a review on the review pages. Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 Originally Posted By: big-will Yes great stuff thursday How does it compare to your beloved Niseko? Big-Will, good question. Tomamu has everything but it is spreadout. Niseko doesn't have as much but it is very close together. The snow is very similar, so too the travelling times. But for me, the effort swings it.
