What a great little resort Teine is. We had the best experience here, and that was after spending several days at Niseko, Rusutsu and Kiroro. It's a small resort, but it's a lot of fun. It was not crowded at all when we were there, the tree skiing was excellent as were the slopes. You can take it very easy on the green runs or rip it up on the steeper slopes. The runs are fairly short, but you just get straight back on the lifts (we didn't have to wait at all) and a couple of minutes later you're back at the top.

But the best part is the tree skiing. Well spaced trees and lots of fluffy snow just next to the slopes.

You can do day trips here from Sapporo, and I would highly recommend it. Probably best on a weekday rather than a weekend. There's no nightlife here, but if you're staying in Sapporo it shouldn't matter.
