TropicalPow 0 Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Morning all. Just wondered on any thoughts on Myoko. I am planning to spend 3 or 4 weeks there Jan/ Feb 2012. I prefer to stay at one area as I have found it gives me the chance to really learn the resort in all its moods plus get to know locals and local spots. As I understand Myoko is a great powder spot { and its off piste powder I am chasing ]and is made up of 4 primary areas . Is there any other resorts easy day trips away? Any thoughts? PS done the Hokkaido thing. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Thoughts on Myoko? I haven't spent that much time there but, hard to explain, but it didn't excite me really. But I am willing to try it more and I'll come over and say "hi" and you can show me around! Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 I like Myoko a lot. You'll definitely get to know the area really well in 3-4 weeks. There are also several easy day trips from Myoko to other resorts but all of them require a car. Madarao, Ryuoo Ski Park, Nozawa Onsen, Togakushi are a few good ones that spring to mind.

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Only been once but I loved it. It didn't stop snowing for 3 days, the powder was unbelievable. Nearby, as BM says, there are a few few decent places to explore...Noz, Madarao, Ryoo, Togari Onsen (small but after a dump would definitely be a good day to explore without the crowds) and Shiga Kogen isn't TOO far away if you had your own transport Link to post Share on other sites

I will definitely give you a call muikabochi and others. Thanks all for your thoughts. I am back to it being a solo trip so I will be looking for some sliding buddies { I am a skier by the way but happy to head out with boarders as well[ even wait for you on the flats ]. At this stage I will be over there from about Jan 18th subject to change. Link to post Share on other sites
