Sorry to ask the same question over and over... but I'm bumping this to see if anyone's ever skiied Shizukuishi and, if so, how he/she liked it.
We need legitimate ski-in/ski-out at an ideally upscale hotel with real onsen this Dec.
So many places are eliminated due to:
- substandard hotel (eg, Prince Naeba)
- too expensive (Karuizawa Prince; Green Plaza Hakuba; just about everywhere in Hokkaido for late Dec)
- possibility of not enough snow in late Dec (eg, Niigata and Fukushima resorts)
- no real onsen (eg, Prince Shiga Kogen)
Shizukuishi is really the only one that comes close to meeting our criteria and budget at this point.
