27 Sep Resort Opening Dates 2017/18 in & around Yuzawa

It is a sure sign of impending winter – long dormant ski resort websites get a refresh, pre-season discount lift ticket sales, and most importantly, opening dates for the coming season. (These dates are the planned opening dates and for almost all resorts will depend on the amount of snow that has fallen.)

Kagura/Mitsumata – 23 November 2017

Tashiro, Naeba, Iwappara, Joetsu Kokusai – 9th December 2017

Yuzawa Park Resort, Maiko Snow Resort – 15th December 2017

GALA Yuzawa, Yuzawa Kogen, Yuzawa-Nakazato, Kandatsu – 16th December 2017

Ishiuchi Maruyama – 21st December 2017

NASPA Ski Garden – 22nd December 2017

Hakkai-san – 23rd December 2017

We’ve still got a few resorts to get dates for, but hopefully this gives you enough information to plan your ski trips for this coming winter for Japan. Snow Country Instructors cover all the above resorts so if you are looking for ski lessons or snowboarding lessons around the Snow Country Region, do let us know. We’ll also travel if our schedule allows and often pop up in Nozawa Onsen, Karuizawa, Shiga Kogen, and Myoko resorts. We’re looking forward to the opening of Lotte Arai Resort on December 16 too.

Time to start counting the days…
