Mt Myoko is a much quieter ski area than nearby Hukuba. The area is better catered for families, especially where some are yet to achieve the skill needed to ski like a pro. Of the several resorts on the mountain, Suginohara excels. The wide runs offer many Green and Red (Blue elsewhere) run options. And, for families, kids under 14 ski free. Unlike other resorts nearby, nearly all the lifts are of the newer (fast) style. The only 'downer' is that the (old) access lift often opns after the rest have opened. This means that to enjoy 1st tracks, one must drive a car to the 'base' area. This access lift should open at least 15 minutes (better 30 minutes) before the Gondola. There are plenty of good food options. So, unless you are a black level skier, you will have lots of fun.

Myōkō and Mt.

Many long green (beginner) runs to learn to ski (I was an absolute beginner at the start of this week). Amazing scenery too!

We did the walk to Naena on Xmas day from Akakura Onsen as the snow was bad so we didn’t fancy snowboarding. It’s a pretty easy walk. And you can walk the back roads from Ikenotaira - from the trail around the Imori-ike pond. We were shocked to run into a family (30+) of snowmonkeys around Suginohara. You can catch the bus back (if it’s running) and stop at Ikenotaira SuperOnsen. Nice day out exploring the area.
