radar, been there, but quite a few years ago now. It's a big area I remember that and snow was great. Not super keen on people going off piste, though that might have changed.
I stayed at the Shiga Kogen Prince South which is right on the ski slopes, ski in ski out. Rather corporate, but very handy and comfortable.
It's not too far to get to the monkey's at Yudanaka in terms of distance, though I'm quite quite sure how you would do it...

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

nozawaonsen, thanks for the recommendation Mrs R is now thinking of two centre and adding in Zao, have you been there?
we are also staying in Tokyo for a few days, should be interesting to see the reaction of the taxi driver as we attempt to put a couple of pairs of ski's in

Zao is fun too. You'll have seen the pictures of snow monsters I'm sure! Some great rotenburo and izakaya if I remember correctly. Was very snowy and I had quite a bit of sake... Will try to dig out some details... Tokyo cabs and skis could be quite interesting. If you are flying to Narita incidentally get the train into town, taxi price would be huge and take ages... Rather a good ski shop just opposite exit to Harajuku. Moving skis about might be easier with Takkyubin...

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

nozawaonsen, thanks any recommendations on accommodation and eating / drinking venues very welcome. We are going to start with Zao and then go on to Shiga Kogen, we will need to take a cab from Yamagata up to Zao as the train gets in after the last bus, so will need to find a cab company. Good call on the ski's will look to use from Shiga to Tokyo.
