Title: Best accommodation Myoko
1Myoko Ski Resorts
2We get asked a lot when is the best time to ski
in Japan and it really depends on what you are
looking for. Whether youre looking for waist
deep powder or prefer to ski on those epic
bluebird days and lap the park will depend on
what time of year you visit.We have put together
a guide below to help you decide which is the
right time for you to plan and book your winter
trip to Japan.
3Kick off December
- You can ski in Japan around mid-December that is
when most resorts are kicking off. The snow can
be amazing but can be hit and miss. This is when
the resorts are getting a good base but you might
find your self skiing through bamboo shoots so
keep your wits about you if you are venturing
off-piste early season. - If you hit it right and there are some big early
storms rolling through the resorts are
not-crowded and lift lines are non-existent.
4Neck deep January
- January is the coldest month to ski in Japan but
it really turns it on. This is the most reliable
time to go skiing and snowboarding. You can
generally expect a ton of that famous Japanese
Powder snow. With the consistent storms rolling
through, this is the best time to go for full
face shots and epic tree skiing. - Accommodation is at a premium over this time and
will book out earlier than other periods. To
avoid disappointment, book early. This time of
year the resorts are buzzing and if you can time
your holiday, before Chinese New Year,(between 21
January and 20 February) youll be winning.
5Waist deep February
- February still delivers decent snowfalls with
continued cold temperatures. Although the storms
are not as consistent compared to January the
snow still comes in hard. After the Chinese New
Year ends around late Feb the crowds disperse and
it is still a great time to ski and board. The
resorts can still be busy epically if you are
visiting Niseko and Hakuba due to the quality of
the snow this time of year. - By the end of the month, bluebird days begin to
come through revealing the epic views you have
been dying to see all winter. We hold our annual
park comp Yama Jam at the Hut in late Feb so best
to book well in advance if you are planning to be
around for that.
6Sunny park laps March
- Who doesnt love a spring ski in Japan? Days are
warmer, sunnier and longer. And due to such a
high snowfall over Jan and Feb, there is a great
base to work with and enough snowfall for fresh
tracks. By now, the storms have backed off so
there is time to enjoy those bluebird days.
Saying that though, it is not uncommon for big
storms to roll through with some amazing
unexpected dumps.
7Shes all wrapped up April
- It is all coming to a close by this stage, with
the warmer days and nights staying above 0. The
snow begins to melt away. The Sakura Cheery
blossoms begin to bloom and the days are longer.
You are not going to see big dumps as in the
previous months and most resorts, restaurants and
shops will all be closing at this point. - The above is true except for Gassan. A small ski
hill located on the southern slopes of Mt
Ubagatake in the Yamagata Prefecture. Due to
large amounts of snowfall this mountain gets over
the season this resort actually opens for the
late spring season usually from April until
late July.
