Nice, we flew in and out of Kayseri years ago and Erciyes (and touring up in the Taurus Mountains!) have always been really intriguing.

Highly recommended
Kayseri is an interesting city
Cappadocio is fascinating
Erciyes has lines for life

So many
All about the time you're visiting and the snow conditions
Niseko gets bagged for being too busy, too expensive, and too anglicised/aussiecised
But if you go at the right time - after the Australian school holidays and Chinese New Year - and catch a good storm cycle then you can have turns all day
Had two laps off the peak with no real race to the top in late Feb this year
Wide open, deep, sunny
Hard to beat

Nearby great turns to be had at Niseko Moiwa, Rusutsu, and Kiroro
Central Hokkaido offers up a very different feel to SW Hokkaido
Not as much snow but catch the right cycle and it'll be plenty deep enough
Usual suspects of Furano, Tomamu and Asahidake
Could easily base yourself in Asahikawa for 5-7 days and do day trips to
Kamui Ski Links approx 35mins drive
Pippu approx 35mins drive
Kokusetsu Horotachi approx 55 mins drive
Asahidake approx 1 hr 10mins drive
Furano approx 1 hr 15mins drive
Nayoro Piyashiri approx 1 hr 30mins drive
Then a Circular Road Trip taking in resorts big and small
Asahikawa - Kurodake
Kurodake - Nukabira Onsen
Nukabira Onsen - Sahoro
Sahoro - Tomamu
Tomamu - Hidaka Kokusai
Hidaka Kokusai - Mt Racey
Mt Racey - Katsurazawa Kokusetsu
Katsurazawa Kokusetsu - Kamoidake
Kamoidake - Asahikawa

Destinations would depend on snow conditions
The smaller places would be non-starters if there's no new snow
Not sure if this link will work
