Hokkaido 20-23 December 2014 2014/4/20 15:39
Planned to visit Hokkaido from Dec 20-23.
1) What's the available attraction during this period?
2) Will not stay in a ski resort. What'll be the cost of skiing for non-resident? Say for 2-3hrs, incl rental of skiing gears.
3) Any ice fishing activities? Where? How much will it cost?

Thanks.

Most city attractions are available around the year:

Wintersports are a major seasonal attraction in December:

Will not stay in a ski resort. What'll be the cost of skiing for non-resident? Say for 2-3hrs, incl rental of skiing gears.

I recommend to read this page:
http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2262_how.html

Rental of ski equipment is typically 4000-5000 yen. CLothing is typically 3000-4000 yen. And a half day lift pass is typically around 3000-4000 yen. Lower in smaller resorts.

Not sure about the ice fishing.

You've got Teine ski resort which is just 40 minutes out from Sapporo City Center

Or Japan's most famous sky resort Niseko which is 100 minutes from Sapporo by train or 2.5-4 hours by bus depending on pick up location

Can't give more information because I'm still in the process of planning which of these resorts I'm going to go to myself.
