This year's Snow Festival was really good...though it was the first snow festival I have been to in Japan so not sure if it was better than last years. I can tell you folks that it's well worth visiting Japan during the snow festival. You will see really impressive ice sculptures and the atmosphere is great. It is pretty crowded, very touristy and commercial but worth it at the end.

Oh, make sure you visit during the day and night, buy some food from the festival stalls, and also make sure you see more than just the main strip as other parts of the city have events that are worth seeing.
