Nice! Hope you will have a great time there. It’a a really great resort with so many scenic runs for all levels and good quality snow ❄️

Thanks ☺️ … I haven’t been to Tomamu but between Rusutsu and Niseko I would definitely pick Rusutsu for beginners and kids. We’ve been to both a few times and found that Rusutsu is very family- and child-friendly. There is a separate children's area and a children's slope on West Mountain. Full care for children from 3 years of age is available in the Crayon Shinchan Kids School. The slopes are generally very wide and very well prepared and are therefore ideal for the whole family. A reindeer park completes the offering. There is also a Game World for older children in Rusutsu Resort.

@@snowtasticdayThank you very much, very informative for me.

Thanks ☺️.. it was filmed in the 3rd week of Jan. I would probably go around the same period or a bit later for a better chance. We were lucky to have a few good weather days when we were there as Zao can be a hit and miss sometimes. Good luck with your trip planning and enjoy your stay. It’s a great place to visit ☺️

滞在を楽しんで 😊

Thanks and glad to hear it’s helpful! Yes, it is possible. I’d say it’s more a blue run than green but a strong beginner can still go slowly on a powdery day. Have you checked out our latest Furano video? The connecting runs are shown in the video (H1) on a powdery day: th-cam.com/video/EMMQdzyy3Fg/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared (Timestamp is 13:28) Hope that helps

Thanks 💜 and glad to hear it’s helpful. This was our second time visiting and it still was great!! It’s such a beautiful resorts and the runs are perfect for us. Hope you have a great time there In terms of hotel recommendations, We have only stayed at the two Prince hotels, Shin Furano Hotel (the one in this video) and Furano Prince hotel (right next to the Kitanomine Gondola and was cheaper than the Shin Furano when we booked before the pandemic), though Furano Prince hotel was closed last year when I checked Any hotels across the road from the Kitanomine gondola, like Hotel Naturwald Furano (the green roof building in the last part of this video), are also a good budget option if you don’t have a car as they are a short walk to the Kitanomine gondola. Another good budget hotel that one of my subscribers mentioned is Hotel Edel Warme . We usually just use Google Map to see how far they are from the closest gondola / lifts / shuttle bus. This side of the resort also has more budget restaurant options as well. Also, in case it you didn’t see, we’ve got two videos showing the ski runs (with trail map to show where they are) : Japan | ski Furano p.1 (with trail map) #furano #skiing #japan #hokkaido #snow #shorts th-cam.com/video/so-CJ4RBk4s/w-d-xo.html Thanks again for watching and good luck with your hotel searching!

Try Nozo Hotel, Phenix, Edel Warme near the slopes. Downtown try La Vista or Natulux.

We visited early Jan-2024 and had so many good weather days in that week! It’s a great ski resort … highly recommend Shin Furano hotel for ski-in ski-out experience! They also run free shuttles to the Kitanomine area and where the restaurants are. Also limited timetable to Furano town with more food options.

That's good to know. Thank you.

thanks 💜… it’s one of our favourite ski resorts and really happy that we had so many good weather days at Furano this time ! ☺️

It’ll be alright by Cody Francis

Yes while both of them have variety of runs, the Kitanomine Zone is probably better for beginners with easier runs, and the Furano Zone, offering slightly more challenging trails. Cheers

This is in Australia and it’s on the right side of the road here 😅

Yes that’s right, we didn’t think it was a black run until we saw it on the trail map 😅 … it was one of our favourite runs too. We also liked the other black one called ‘Dynamic’

Glad to hear this vid is helpful! Keep it up and hope you will be able to enjoy more varieties of runs in the future 😊

Snowy River Holiday Park

I believe it’s the Tree Line or Tree Run

Aww 🥰 thanks 🙏 .. really glad to hear you enjoyed it. The shots were captured by GoPro. We usually hold the GoPro out and follow each other to capture their skiing ⛷️.. it’s not always easy as we have to make sure the area is not crowded and we are not in the way of other skiers to ensure safety for people as well. Sometimes it might take us to ski a few runs to capture one complete run 😅

Thanks for your reply. Amazing shots. Really good selection of groomers in Whistler Blackcomb to showcase. I skied around 70 days last season in Whistler. If I had to pick, I probably would have said the same ones to someone who comes to visit for a day or two and is interested in groomers. I love to go visit other ski resorts on Epic Pass. How do you find which runs to go when you are new to a resort? Do you ask guest services? Do you go on Mountain Hosts tours? Do you talk with people on the chairlift?

And about capturing videos, this is a great way to capture. It captures best of both. GoPro stabilizes the picture and its direction is chosen manually to capture the best view. Of course, the safety points you mentioned are very important too.

@@simavalizadeh WOW 😮 ... 70 days of skiing sounds awesome!! Thanks again, this means a lot coming from someone who had done a great amount of skiing in Whistler. We are on Epic Pass as well and the way we plan is slightly different depending on the size of the resort. For destination resorts, we usually research the resort beforehand by gathering info, tips and reviews online as well as watching youtube. When we get to the resort, we study the trail map closely and chat with people to get some ideas, then ski the green and blue runs in an area at a time and work our way through as many areas as we can, usually prioritising the ones from our research first, then come back to the ones we enjoyed the most until we feel adventurous and get on the steeper runs or moguls if our legs are still with us :). For smaller resorts, we don't usually spend a lot of time on doing research but just go by the trail map and enjoy all the surprises each run has to offer. Sometimes, things never go according to plan though so we might end up on some of the unplanned runs and just enjoy the unknowns and little surprises along the way until we find our way back to the run we originally planned to do ... and the way we see it is; it's all part of the fun 🤩.. surprisingly those unplanned moments are the ones we found we would enjoy the most at the end of our day :)

Thanks 🙏 and glad to hear you enjoyed it ❤

Thanks 😊 this short video was shot on my iPhone XS and edited using vintage / cinematic profile which helped enhance the flat colours from the raw shots .. hope that helps 😊

Oh what a shame! It was the best day so far this season .. great vibe everywhere on the mountain too! maybe time to look for Telstra data plan deals 😅😂

Unfortunately no! It would be a great option if they did. The closest campgrounds are about 40’ drive to Falls Creek.

@@snowtasticday thanks mate, so you had done 1 day or multiple days?

Multiple snowtastic days 😊

Thanks 😊… we had a great week there with mostly beautiful weather days .. it was around the last week of Dec-2019.

The last few shots in the end are a sneak peak of our next part (A Bluebird Day) in this series. Thanks for watching ☺️

@@snowtasticday oh ok, good videos btw I’ve really been looking for a good skiing youtube channel for perisher

23-Aug-2022 😊 ❄️ ⛄️

Thanks @jessicaschan! We use iPhone XS for non-skiing shots and GoPro Hero 7 for skiing shots to help with stability. Hope that helps. Hope you will have a great time there! It’s a beautiful resort! Cheers Angie 😊

Thx so much Angie!

BTW, just finished 2 weeks ski trip to Furano, thank you...all wonderful except the slots of the gondola cabin are too small to carry modern skis..skiers had to bring their skis into the cabin..that drastically reduced the numbers of passengers the cabin can take in one flight....cannot figure out Y the management is so stupid...😞

Great to hear it was all wonderful! Yeah we had noticed that too. You probably saw our skis inside the gondola in the Furano - Kitanomine video. My guess is they didn’t anticipate the high demand as it was still a hidden gem when I was there pre-Covid. There was barely any line in the morning. Hopefully it will be upgraded in the future though :)

@@snowtasticday I stayed at Hotel Edel Warme..all good...easy to get budget accommodation if youre not too demanding. btw old Prince Hotel had been closed down...new Prince is just too expensive la...😑

@@cmtang304 oh what a shame it’d been closed down! It was a great ski-in ski-out hotel with reasonable price. Yep, totally agreed with you about the new Prince hotel is too expensive!

aww 🥰 thanks. This means a lot. Reading your comment makes me excited for my next ski trip 😊. Have fun and enjoy all the runs on offer. I’ve heard it’s a great season at Whistler this year!

Hi Neil, how exciting! I recon you would have a good chance with Feb & early March. All the best. Cheers 😊

@@snowtasticday thanks for tip. I’m already excited & it’s bloody ages off yet

aww 🥰 thank you 🙏 so much for your kind words ! 💚

Aww 🥰 many thanks 🙏

Really glad to hear it’s informative and helpful for your trip planning :) saw your notes about going here in the next few days so I hope you will have a great time and enjoy all the runs on offer 💚
