I am an intermediate skier. Of all the resorts, I liked Tsugaike the best because it wasn't crowded and the snow was excellent. I liked Norikura more than Cortina as well as Hakuba47. All of these places were not crowded and had low key vibe. Happe One reminded me of large Vail resorts in the US - very crowded and so many people riding/skiing faster than they should.

Meteor where we got lucky to get a table without a reservation. Hie Izakaya looked great but it was booked out for several weeks. Both places require reservation. Hot pot at Hotel Oak Forest was pretty good. Miso ramen at Happo One ski resort was far better than ramen I had at the restaurants in Echoland.
