Sapporo to Hakuba Advice

Hi, I am heading from Sapporo to Hakuba end of Jan. I am considering two options. Option 1 : using Fuji Dream Airline and go to Matsumoto Airport in Nagano and taking a taxi / train to Hakuba. Option 2: Go to Haneda Airport via any available airline and take a shuttle ( 4 hour ) to hakuba.

Option 1 : More expensive ( Flights and double price of to haneda ) , only 1 flight a day ( High risk if there is a storm or bad weather ) , I will also be taking my snowboard ( dont know about luggage situation ) , Shorter ( roughly 4 – 5 Hours ) Travel Time.

Option 2 : Cheaper , Multiple flights a day , Longer ( roughly 6 – 7 Hours Travel Time )

Kindly provide your advice if you have had any experience with Fuji Dream Airline , or if its too risky.
