When is the best time to come?

That   depends   on   your   luck   and   also   what   you   demand   out   of   the   snow.   Put   briefly   (and   every   year   is different),   before   the   middle   of   Dec   snow   can   be   very   unreliable   ,   but   on   the   other   hand   there   are   years when   there   can   be   already   metres   of   snow   in   early   Dec,   and   no-one   to   share   it   with.   Most   resorts   open as   soon   as   there   is   enough   snow.From   xmas   till   the   end   of   Feb   is   normally   most   reliable   for   powder. March   can   be   warm   and   slushy,   but   usually   there   is   still   good   snow   coverage,   the   occasional   dump   and again   little   competition   for   the   snow.   In April   the   snow   starts   wearing   thin   and   many   of   fthe   resorts   close at the end of March  but Goryu/47 and Happo do manage to stay open till early May every year.
