I was pleasantly surprised by Mt Racey, Yubari: The resort isn't huge, but there is a wide variety of runs, both on and off-piste, and even a pretty good ski park (though the kickers could have better landings/ been more progressive as they require some big jumps)... Staff are very friendly, restaurant prices relatively cheap, and snow fantastic - as there were so few people there, I rate the snow much better than Niseko, as there are many untouched powder runs and nice piste action. The resort is also much more Japanese, and i was the only foreigner there. So, in all, I prefer it a lot to the overhyped, overpriced and foreigner-swamped Niseko.
