Every resort has its own slogon to create attraction. I decided on Rusutsu Resort as it is the biggest ski resort in Hokkaido. It has many ski trails , themed attraction and a very big traditional carousel which is suitable for family with young kids.
On top of these, the resort has free shuttle bus from Sapporo, near JR Sapporo station.
It is also one of the few ski resorts that open in late November, ready for ski class and ski course. They have free shuttle to another part of the resort for expert skier too.
They provide rental ski items, tub, ski wear, ski boots, accessories and you can just rent and hassle free.
Comparing Niseko, Niseko is very commercialised and crowded with foreigners, while Rusutsu is more family oriented. Even if you are on budget, there is another wing that has economical rooms, large canteen area and even has mini convenient store just outside the hotel.
My recommendation is 2 days 1 night if you just want the kids to play indoor. Longer stay if you plan to go ski or sleigh ( known as sori if you want to rent ). Peak season is in Jan and Feb when all the ski courses are ready and open.
We have fun even though we stay most of the time indoor.
