Suginohara

Reviewed By dalliance47 - Tweed Heads, Australia

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.

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

Akakan Ski Area

Reviewed By NixterPerth

Ski’d here three days, completely different conditions each day. Bit of slush, but if ice, but of fresh - it was the start of the season. Lapped the top lifts mostly as better snow. Good food options but very busy at lunch time. Terrain was great for beginner and intermediate but lacking for advanced (that might change when the snow base gets deeper and opens up more terrain between pistes). We preferred Kanko to Onsen - which was great also as it’s the closer of the two to our accommodation ‘Myoko mountain lodge’ Dawn skiing on NYD with free sake and hot tea was the highlight.

We found lots of powder to play in at Akakura Onsen. It was less busy on big days than Kanko so we had more powder to ourselves. A great place for beginners too.
