There no problem to take bus to Sapporo,The journey will take 1 hour 30 minute or more depends condition on the road like  ais bump.Accident almost happen during winter because slippery .Bus stand its front of Hotel Rususut.

You can see some picture at Rususut through this link :http://isjeff2010.fotopages.com/

From Rususut to Kutchan by bus will take 30-40 minutes.

If you from Sapporo Eki to (Niseko)Kutchan Eki..yes there have trains service.But from Rususut..i don't know.
