Powder + Trees - Crowds = Rusutsu Magic

Rusutsu provided us with masses of powder and great tree runs for the duration of our stay.
Most of the people at Rusutsu are Japanese which gave the place a more authentic Japanese feel compared with Niseko. Most of the people were not interested in riding in the trees which meant on many days we were finding ''freshies'' into the early afternoon.
The hotel facilities were top notch and the food was high quality, mostly buffet style Western and Japanese. Im not really a buffet guy, but the food was really tasty and fresh. I'd suggest packaging all your meals with your accomodation as you can really only eat at the hotel though.
Be aware, there is really no nightlife to speak of at the resort which was fine for us.
So, if you want somewhere that you can very comfortably eat, sleep and ride amazing powder all day then Rusutsu is for you. :)
