点评:Ski conditions and courses:
Due to the lack of snow (in late December), the snow play area and some courses at Bankei were not open yet but there were enough courses to keep me interested for a few days. A different course might be open each day. There is no flat course (unlike at Teine) so for those skiing for the very first time, I would not recommend Bankei. Some of the beginner courses at Bankei were narrow and right next to a cliff (with trees). The wide and flat courses at Teine might feel safer. There was plenty of powder at Teine (in late December) but for beginners, the thick snow at Teine required more effort compared to going down the powderless slopes at Bankei.
Ski lessons:
At Bankei, private ski lessons were relatively easy to book. There were lots of Japanese kids attending ski school - good atmosphere if you like kids.
At Teine, private ski lessons were not available although I tried to book early. They offered group lessons for first timers instead. There may have been around 50 students in the class with one coach and lots of assistants. Good for true first timers. For those who pick up skiing more quickly, the class is very slow and involves lots of standing around waiting. I was happy to chit chat and enjoy the scenery while waiting.
Facilities:
The building at Bankei, especially the room where food is served, is quite old but it was fine.
Teine seemed newer and bigger. Also more crowded, more foreigners.
Transport:
Bankei is quite close to the city so if you are staying in Sapporo you could take a taxi from your hotel. Going home was no problem - I was sure to be able to get on a bus or taxi easily.
At Teine, you might want start queuing early for the bus both to get to Teine and to get back down to the train station. It seems there are not enough buses and you will be sardined if you are lucky enough to get on a bus. No taxi would come to Teine, not even if I tried to pre-book or offer extra $.
Conclusion:
The snow, courses and facilities at Teine are better than at Bankei but transport was a no-go for me at Teine. After being stuck at Teine after dark with seemingly no transport to get home (unless I stood in the queue in the car parking area in the heavy snow for at least 1-2 hours), I decided Bankei was a better choice for me and my young child.
翻译:滑雪条件和课程:
由于缺雪(12月下旬),盘溪的雪地游乐区和一些课程还没有开放,但有足够的课程让我感兴趣几天。每天可能会开设不同的课程。没有平坦的路线(与手稻不同),所以对于那些第一次滑雪的人来说,我不推荐盘溪。盘溪的一些初学者课程很狭窄,并且紧邻悬崖(有树木)。手稻宽阔平坦的球场可能会让人感觉更安全。手稻(12 月下旬)有很多粉雪,但对于初学者来说,手稻厚厚的积雪比盘溪的无粉雪坡滑下需要更多的努力。
滑雪课程:
在Bankei,私人滑雪课程相对容易预订。有很多日本孩子在上滑雪学校——如果你喜欢孩子的话,这里的氛围很好。
在手稻,虽然我尝试提前预订,但没有提供私人滑雪课程。他们为初学者提供团体课程。班上可能有大约 50 名学生,还有一名教练和许多助手。适合真正的初学者。对于那些更快学会滑雪的人来说,课程的进度非常慢,并且需要大量站立等待。我很高兴在等待的时候聊天、欣赏风景。
设施:
盘溪的建筑,尤其是提供食物的房间,相当旧,但还不错。
手稻看起来又新又大。而且人比较多,外国人也比较多。
运输:
盘溪离市区很近,所以如果您住在札幌,您可以从酒店乘坐出租车。回家没问题——我确信能够轻松搭乘公共汽车或出租车。
在手稻,您可能需要尽早开始排队等候巴士,以便前往手稻并返回火车站。好像公交车不够,运气好的话就被沙丁鱼吃掉了。没有出租车会来手稻,即使我试图提前预订或提供额外的美元。
结论:
手稻的雪、球场和设施都比盘溪好,但手稻的交通对我来说是不方便的。天黑后被困在手稻,似乎没有交通工具回家(除非我在大雪中在停车场排队至少 1-2 小时),我认为盘溪对我和我的家人来说是更好的选择小孩儿。
