All Reviews of Yamagata Zao Onsen Ski Resort

I finally had the chance to try skiing at Zao Onsen Ski Resort. It was my first time on the snow, and from being cautious at first to slowly finding my balance, every run felt fresh and challenging.
Standing on the snow-covered slope with a silvery-white world all around me, I skied downhill through the frigid air, feeling both nervous and excited. Even though I fell a few times, I couldn’t help getting back up again and again to keep trying.

The area near the cable car station at the bottom of the ski resort is marked as a beginner green run on the map, but it's actually pretty steep—feels more like an intermediate course. It's a bit confusing.
