Rusutsu, Japan ski and snowboard holiday guide.

RUSUTSU SKI HOLIDAYS

The ski holiday resort of Rusutsu, located in the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido offers some 45km of ski pistes in a very family friendly environment. The ski holiday resort is essentially one large hotel complex, the Rusutsu Resort Hotel, complete with its own theme park (summer opening) and a family focused theme. It is resort complex boasting 17 restaurants and has something of a Disney feel about it. There is a monorail which takes guests to the 2 separate sides of the mountain. The skiing is best suited to intermediates and families and as with most of Hokkaido, the snowfall in Rusutsu is impressive with the quality of the snow some of the very best anywhere.

RUSUTSU SKI HOLIDAY INFO

The skiing in Rusutsu is best suited to intermediates. It has perfectly groomed pistes, some excellent and fairly easy tree skiing as well as a number of red runs. The snow is magnificent most of the time and the area is large enough to provide a number days of interesting skiing. There are additionally some black runs and more difficult off-piste to keep advanced skiers or snowboarders happy for a little while but perhaps not a full week. There are some decent beginners slopes, but these can sometimes be rather difficult to advance to from the very easy beginners slopes. The ski area is located across 2 different mountains; a smaller area by the main hotel which is connected by gondola to the second larger area, meaning it is very easy to get between to 2. Rusutsu is a ski-in, ski-out ski holiday resort.
