Are the ski resorts crowded on the Lunar New Year's Day?


Recommended Posts

Hi!

 

Are the ski resorts generally crowded on the Lunar New Year's Day?

Here in Korea, although we take almost the whole week off around the Lunar New Year's Day, it's more or less family gathering time and it's actually a very good time to escape the usual holiday crowd on the runs.

I'm wondering how it is in Japan.

Lunar New Year really depends on the moon, Feb. 9th for this year, somewhen around mid January for last year.

I don't think ski slopes get crowded at that time because Japan doesn't have the lunar new year any more - my parents told me Japan might have had it before when they were kids. Even they were not sure, so who cares? lol

I think it will be rare this season to find really crowded resort - especially compared to many years ago. Now more than a few minute wait is rare.

 

I remember about 10 years ago waiting for maybe 45 minutes to get fairly short pair lifts. It sounds really bad now!
