yillow 0 Posted April 30, 2002 Share Posted April 30, 2002 ...if the "N" word place (*) didn't exist, where would be the best resort in Hokkaido? * Niseko. Link to post Share on other sites
oo 1 Posted April 30, 2002 Share Posted April 30, 2002 Other Hokk resorts do seem to get overlooked don't they? Poor poor resorts. Wouldn't know myself. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted May 1, 2002 Share Posted May 1, 2002 Mt.Aka bira goes alright. I did a boarderX there last year. Small resort/hill, but many trees and a fair bit of steep. Oh yeah, the place/town near the hill was called Asahikawa. n.b. the spelling might be a bit wrong- sorry! Link to post Share on other sites
gorilla 0 Posted May 1, 2002 Share Posted May 1, 2002 Rusutsu is a decent place. Link to post Share on other sites
eddie 0 Posted May 8, 2002 Share Posted May 8, 2002 I wasnt blown away with Rusutsu when I was up there 2 seasons ago. Anyone tried out that Kiroro Snow World place to the north of Niseko? Link to post Share on other sites
IM 0 Posted May 8, 2002 Share Posted May 8, 2002 Daisetsu/Asahi: it can be very windy and the ropeway frequently stops, but the pow run is more than awsome - better than Niseko in my opinion. Rusutsu: I don't care for the resort, but back country is quite good. Sapporo Kokusai: Handy place if you live in Sapporo area. Link to post Share on other sites
miteyak 0 Posted May 8, 2002 Share Posted May 8, 2002 Hokkaido, ummmmm, recently doesn't seem to get the snow it used to. On many days this year it appeared to have less snow than many Nagano resorts. Went up there last year, and dropped into Naggers on the way home, and have to say, Naggers kicked ass in all regards save the empty nighters at Niseko Higashi. I'm sure I'm opening a right royal can o' worms, (one thats been opened before, I know), but lets have some seasonally adjusted views. Link to post Share on other sites
