Manza Onsen Ski Resort
Manza Onsen Ski Resort is a mountain ski resort located at an elevation of 1,800 meters. Known for having some of Japan’s finest powder snow, it is affectionately called “Powder Snow Manza.” The resort has 14 runs, many of which feature gentle slopes for beginners and intermediate skiers looking to improve their skills.
I have to say, the powder quality at Manza is really good. The high elevation definitely gives it an advantage, but it also makes the conditions more weather-dependent. This time, the wind kept blowing snow into my face, and visibility was so poor that I didn't really dare ski normally. In the end, I had to call it a day early and go back for a soak in the hot springs.
