Rusutsu resort hotel

Written by John a Skier from Brisbane, Australia

Well located hotel a bit over the top with fake ''disneyland'' like decor. Hotel bar does not cater for post ski drinks. [but there are vending machines for a beer].

Limited choice of skis for hire. Ski area is nice, easy to venture off piste for tree skiing without guides. Snow quality exceptional. Worth venturing out of resort to some local restaurants that are much better value. Resort restaurants a bit expensive.

Good conference rooms. Pool area large, water temp nice.

Bizarre Resort

Huge complex with a large merry-go-round in the middle of it & snow covered roller-coasters surrounding it. Scratching to find anywhere open for a beer at 4pm. English 3rd or 4th language spoken by most staff.

Strange place, but what the facilities & staff may be lacking, the snow makes up for. Well groomed runs....easy access...ski-in ski-out.....and powder through the trees I have never seen the likes of.

And it SNOWS constantly!

Not the wet sticky stuff, but the light, dry, doesn''t-stick-to-your-goggles stuff.

Worth the trip!

West Mountain, The smallest of the three has a great terrain park and halfpipe, as well as some interesting backcountry. East Mountain, Ideal for beginners to learn their first turns. Mt Isola, A treasure trove of incredible tree skiing opportunities. Furthest away from the hotels but this area offers the best terrain with long and challenging runs combined with panoramic scenery.
