This is the ultimate powder holiday, hitting up 4 of the best unknown resorts over an extended holiday period. 4 nights lodging, 4 days lift ticket included.
Actual order of ski resorts will be dependent on snow conditions, and we will choose for the powder conditions.
Geto Kogen
Geto Kogen gets huge consitent powder dumps and being off the beaten path it is quite empty. There will be plenty of tree skiing and on piste powder options to keep you happy for an entire day. The lifts were upgraded in recent years and is overall a very comfortable resort.
Amihari Onsen
Amihari Onsen is located on the side of Mt. Iwate, and the majority of the resort is above the tree line. Plenty of powder to ski, and if avalanche conditions allow there are some great short climbs for backcountry skiing as well. To make this place even better there is an amazing hot spring at the base of the mountain so you can warm up after spending a day in the deep powder.
Appi Kogen
Appi Kogen is one of the largest ski resort in the Tohoku region and is aiming to be a more modern resort these days.
For the 2022-2023 season, the Appi Gondola remains open, along with three quad lifts and two pair lifts. The Vista quad lift is scheduled to open only on weekends and holidays. Despite the dramatic decrease in ski lifts, most of the original terrain remains accessible. (It is unclear if there is a chance that any closed lifts might re-open).
There are five official Tree Run Zones on the mountain: Attack, Bravo, Cruise 1, Cruise 2 and Dragon Tail. Registration is required to use them. Backcountry options are also available.
Tazawako
Tazawako is a ski area located on the western slopes of Mt Komagatake in Semboku City in the eastern region of Akita Prefecture, close to the border of Iwate Prefecture.
The ski area overlooks Lake Tazawa. It has two quad lifts and four pair lifts. The snow on three courses is left ungroomed, and there is a tree run course as well as plenty of backcountry options. If the weather is good then the views are amazing!
Lodging
Wednesday night we will be driving up to Sendai and spending 1 night in the Sosetsu Inn Sendai, rooms will be 2 person rooms with twin beds.
Thursay through Saturday nights will be spent at Hotel Ace Morioka. Breakfast is included each morning at 6:30 a.m. and we have reserved a mix of single rooms and 2 person twin rooms.
Ski / Snowboard Rentals:
We will do what we can to help you arrange rentals in Morioka, but for the last day of skiing you would need to rent at or near the last day's resort.
*Trip departs Friday night from Ikebukuro station
