If you make it up to Hokkaido, I live up here and could show you some spots.

Close to Tokyo though, you've got plenty of riding. Closest decent place to Tokyo is probably Naeba in Niigata. Thats only a couple of hours on the Shinkansen. Or you can head up to Nagano area, and hit Hakuba or the countless other ski areas around there. Public transport is really efficient, if you want any tips, just give me a shout.

I wouldn't say its flatter. It's not as high, and doesn't have as much vertical. But you can pretty much ride anywhere without too much risk of getting stuck. Lots and lots of fun lines in the trees and far fewer people than at Niseko.

I live in Hokkaido, so I'll be around for sure. If you're at Rusutsu at a weekend then I'll definitely head out. Drop me a PM!

Gonna be at Rusutsu tomorrow, Sat 16th, but then Sapporo Teine Sunday 17th. Then I'm heading out to Tomamu and Sahoro next weekend.

I'll be in Niseko the weekend of March 2/3, but I guess you'll have just left!

You've timed your trip well, we've had some good snow this week, tomorrow and Sunday are looking like they'll be sweet.
