hey i'm looking to possibly go to hokkaido this winter and i'm trying to figure out what mountain to ski. from what i've read, niseko gets the best snow but doesn't have the best terrain and is overrun by australians. furano seems to have better terrain and no crowds but not as good snow. anyone have any first hand experience?

I haven't been there but Hirafu sounds like the biggest. check out snowjapan.com. there's ratings by people who've actually been there.

I have friends who have been to Niseko and Grand Hirafu. Both can be really, really, really sick for pow. GH is big and generally gets quite crowded. You can find untracked stuff mostly all day from what I understand.
I really want to head to Japan to ski for a season at one of those two places. Roomates anyone?

Niseko was epic. Bigger and better than I expected.
