ok, MagSeven. What is you favorite resort?
Another question: I would like enjoy to night snowboard in Niseko and Kiroro. Do you meet timetables of kiroro ski bus to Otaru? I´m looking at in Hyperdia and I found good conection for return of Hirafu to Sapporo.
My idea of travel:
1 kiroro
1 Niseko United
1 rusutsu
1 Kamui ski links
Maybe 1 FURANO, 1 Asahidake, 1 teine or repet resort.
I would like enjoy with local of epic powder day, thank you for your offer.

My favourite spot is Teine.
Looking at your plan, that involves alot of travel. If you're only around for 7-8 days, I'd maybe suggest focusing on one area. I'd say you could possibly skip the Furano/Asahidake/Kamui section, and focus on a few days in Niseko area and a few days based in Sapporo. For night skiing, I'd say Hirafu in Niseko has by far the best terrain and lighting available. Also, you didn't have Sapporo Kokusai on your list, but I'd definitely recommend it.
I'm afraid I can't give too much advice on buses as I have a car, so use that to travel to the ski hills. The Hokkaido Resort Liner bus looks to offer a pretty good service covering most ski resorts.

For sure dude! I'll be there 16th Jan - 4th Feb, probably heading to Sapporo on the 31 (probably get one or two days skiing in whilst there, as well as checking out the city). Ay idea which days would be best for you to go skiing?
Any tips on cheap places to stay? Currently looking at: http://www.inos-place.com/ and http://www.jimmyzbp.com/english/ I assume getting from one of those to the airport for a 7:50am flight will be pretty difficult (I'm not good in the mornings unless it's a pow day), so thinking I'll head to an airport hotel on the night of the 3rd.

clarky999, that weekend of 1st/2nd Feb will be perfect for a ski somewhere. I don't often stay in hotels in the city, but occasionally use this one http://www.b-norte.jp/norte1/english/ Hotel Norte, a business hotel near Nakajima Koen. Generally around 3,500 per night for a private ensuite room, including a decent brekkie. It's close to the subway station and also near one of the larger hotels where the Resort Liner bus runs from. Also easy staggering distance from Susukino!
For an early flight you'd have to stay in Chitose the night before as I don't think the trains would get you there early enough. Only other option would be an expensive taxi.
