More buses to pow pow this season

Cortina is a little resort just north of the main resorts of Happo One and Hakuba47. It has now become a hotspot in Hakuba due to its free policy on tree skiing. There is some great areas to ski well spaced trees in deep powder. The area can get a lot more snow than the southern resorts depending on how the storm systems roll in. The 2011/12 season was an exceptional year for Cortina and as word spread the buses from the Happo information center filled quicker every powder day. This season they have put more on to get everyone up there earlier. For a better alternative stay with the White Horse Hotel or any similar establishment for private shuttles to all of the resorts.
