Myoko Suginohara Ski Resort
Located in Myoko City, Niigata Prefecture, Myoko Suginohara Ski Resort stretches across the slopes of Mt. Myoko. Just about 10 minutes by car from the nearest station, Myoko-Kogen Station, it is easily accessible and attracts many skiers each year. Of its 16 courses, about 80% are designed for beginners and intermediates, making it particularly welcoming for novices.
We happened to go the day after it snowed, which made Suginohara even more fun. The snow conditions on the mountain combined with the long runs are really appealing. If you like powder, you can find ungroomed areas, while those who enjoy smooth carving will find the wide groomed runs here very comfortable.
