Our filming experience was top notch while visiting Hokkaido. The snow conditions are always world class every time I have been there. It snowed a couple feet on us every night with sunshine in the day. There is really nothing like the blower light snow in that area. Furano was a perfect location to base ourselves. The Furano Prince Hotel is beautiful and very accomodating. The food is wonderful and the service if friendly. Based right at the bottom of Furano Resort was so convenient and we explored all over the mountain. There is so much to do there from trees to groomers to powder fields. Our entire group, Gretchen Bleiler, Marie-France Roy, Jamie Anderson and Chanelle Sladics, feel fortunate for the experience and hope to be back soon because this area is a very special place.
