SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 180 Posted June 13, 2024 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted June 13, 2024 Japanese ski area news & developments 2024-2025 winter season We are making a few changes to how we treat ski area 'news' from this year. From now on, significant - and, at times, less significant! - ski area 'news' will be published on the individual ski area pages within SnowJapan (500+ of them), as and when we make those checks and updates each autumn. We are making various updates every day. Here's the starting point: https://www.snowjapan.com/japan-ski-resorts This will allow us to concentrate further on our core all-important updates. At the same time, it also removes the 'selective' nature of our previous news lists. This change will also allow us to add more up-to-date information to more of our ski area listing pages... which is always a good thing! The same points apply as before: We do not publish rumours, press releases or marketing promotions. Most ski area news is usually announced in the autumn months into December (the majority of details appear in November). SnowJapan is not a news organisation, and we cannot cover everything; our priority is always developing our own information/website. If you know of any ski area-related news that might be of interest, we would be happy to hear from you. Contact us here. More about our ski area information updates here.
