很棒的一次滑雪。我和我老婆在这滑雪滑了2天,太棒了。我们发现这里有很多地方没开发,几乎没什么人。这座山比二世谷的要好得多,因为朝北所以很少有阳光直射,所以晴天时候雪更好。我们发现山上咖啡店的食物也很棒。

是第二次来留寿都。这里是滑雪者的天堂,粉末状的雪花,超赞的升降椅,长达数英里精心打造的滑道,梦幻不已。房间一般,清洁卫生,风景很美。酒店几家餐厅的食物都非常可口。所以,如果你喜欢滑雪爱好滑雪,也能忍受稀奇古怪,那就来这里体验一把吧,绝对不会令你失望的。

我们都是滑雪的老手了,而且这已经是我们在日本到过的第三个度假村。我们去的时候有点早了,所以我们看到的度假村并不是最棒的(那个时候,雪海不是很多)。可是,我们在这里呆的那一周滑雪滑的却是非常开心,而且在周末的时候,我们在没有经过人工清理的山坡上享受着那刚刚降下的大雪,感觉真的是非常棒。我们去的时候正好是旺季(当地学校放假的日子),但是这里只有是初学者用的滑雪破,而且这里有“汽船”往来,非常繁忙(按照澳洲的标准来看,这里的人到不是很多,而且如果你想乘坐吊车上山也根本不用排队)。如果你滑雪的技术好一些的话,也可以周三周四过来,因为那个时候,滑雪道都是没有人打扫过的,所以很多人不会过来。我们过去的时候,西方人并不是很多,这是我们喜欢这里的原因!这里的道路地图并不是用英文写的(但是有些贡多拉却是有英文标注),但是尽管如此,你也可以很容易的找到方向。

Read my review of the resort. I can't possibly type all that again. In short, it was amazing. If you like snow play, deep fresh powder, and a feeling of freedom on the slopes, you will love it here.

Aside from my ideas on the hotel, the skiing itself is good.There are 3 mountains to choose from. West, East & Isola. All are accessible from either side of the road via gondola. The skiing at West mountain seems most limited and best for beginners but there are a couple short black runs up topEast Mountain is next with two longer runs then Isola being the best with the biggest varietyAll lifts and gondolas are pretty quick and if you are there on weekdays there's rarely a wait to get on. Weekends get a bit busier though with some longer queues first thing but by afternoon it spreads out a little.Good fun but maybe less challenge than Niseko

The real draw of Rusutsu is the tree skiing. The piste runs essential trace the ridges. The adventure is dropping off the ridge and skiing through the trees. Most of the tree runs end in drainage that leads back out to a run. It's pretty hard to get lost. And, like most of Hokkaido, the snow can be great. It's not guaranteed but there's a good chance. The resort more Japanese than Niseko and far less crowded. It almost felt like we had the place to ourselves.

Beautifully groomed, long, wide runs. Good facilities and food at base buildings. Little if any lift queues. Plenty of powder and great tree skiing for those that want it.

I have had some great powder days at Rusutsu and when it is on, the tree skiing is superb. The pistes are also groomed to perfection, so it is excellent for mixed groups where experts want to ski the trees and intermediates want wide, even pitches. I stay in one of the few family run pensions, Lila Huset , which is wonderful, and the resort hotel provides a weird, fantasy contrast in quirky Japanese style. There is a small number of very good izakaya restaurants to choose from. I will return!

Don't bother going to Niseko, it's over crowded with Australians compared to here. Large ski area with more space to breath. We had a fantastic day skiing here and even after two days of no snow we were still able to do some quality powder riding. The park is better than Hirafu, they have a rainbow rail here which was pretty exciting to see considering the other resorts in the area don't have much in terms for freestyle. All the lifts were high speed, and some of the gondola runs are actually pretty long. Accommodation.. Downside, impossible to get unless you stay in the hotel which is very expensive. Come here for a day trip, there is a daily shuttle from Hirafu I think it was roughly 6,500¥ for bus and all mountain pass. There was another company but they were very disorganised and did not run to the schedule (left us waiting at the Hirafu welcome centre for an hour as they had decided to cancel the service) nisekoshuttlebus

Very strange vibe to the place. Reminds me of a deserted cold war era ski resort. Snow quality is significantly worse than nearby Niseko. Runs are basically flat, their only idea of a black run is moguls. Forget the place and go to Niseko and if you are trying to avoid the crowds go to Moiwa.

snow, slopes, food, lifts, weather, staff, slope grooming all one could ask for in a ski resort. second visit and will not be the last. ENJOY.

I was based in Niseko, and after hearing about the conditions in Rusutsu, thought I would visit it and see what the fuss was about.. This is easily the best riding I've ever had!Rusutsu is pretty much all lift-accessible side country and there was more snow and less wind than Niseko. I've now been 3 times and will keep going back. Highly recommended!!If you don't want to stay at the hotel there, you can stay in Niseko and catch a bus there and back - tickets can be organised from one of the bus counters in the Hirafu Welcome Centre. Be sure to book in advance as this quite often sells out

このスキー場は、コース幅が広くて、且つ初級・中級コースはきれいに圧雪されているので、とても滑りやすい。ただし、ここのゲレンデは横に長く、一番広いイゾラ山が、一番遠くにあるので、移動に時間がかかるのがちょっと残念です。また、私が訪れた時は、イゾラ第三クワッドが整備不良のため休止しており、イゾラ山の左半分のコースが滑れなかった事が大変残念でした。高いリフト料金を払っているのだから、きちんと設備を点検しておいてほしい。These ski slopes were wide and compacted properly in beginner and intermediate slopes, so it was very easy for me to ski. However, it was inconvenient to take much time from Mt. West to Mt. Isola which is the largest mountain. In addition, when I visited here, a Isola third quad was stopped due to poor maintenance, so I couldn't ski at the left side slopes in Mt. Isola. I was quite disappointed it. I strongly demand them to maintain the facilities accurately because I paid expensive charge.

My son & I were based in Niseko (Hirafu) with a Whiteroom Tours group. However, we got to ski a number of resorts (all 4 Niseko resorts), Moiwa, Kiroro and Rusutsu. And Rusutsu was by far the best. Uncrowded, Great powder, great runs and plenty of fresh lines through the trees. Had an absolute ball.Can't comment on the accomodation at the resort as we travelled from Niseko each morning (about a 45 min trip). Highly recommended.

If its the snow experience you're after, whether it be powder, tree skiing with hardly any queues, this is a hidden gem of a resort. The hotel is strange, with the staff speaking very little English, and Disney themed shops and rides along the corridors.The Japanese Onsen or Sauna and hot baths were a bonus at the end of a tough days skiing. A heated wave pool for the kids and Dog sledding and horse rides in the snow, a novel attraction to try out. Limited shops outside of the hotel, except for a 7/11 for basic food and alcohol. We did however really enjoy our 8 days here in Rusutsu ski resort.
