Posted on Saturday 23rd December 2023 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.
Finally, Myoko-style snow, and more openings - although the resorts are once again SLOW in letting us know.
OK, I get up really early to plow snow (in several locations), but I'd figure by the time I get finished the resorts, too, should now what they're going to do. Seven am? Not early for a ski resort, right? But no info from most of them. And now 7:30 and no change (and, Alpen Blick, where are you hiding the current area info? Don't really care about your glamping facilities...)
But anyway, the important stuff. Akakura Onsen is "pre-opening" today, with the Yodel No. 1 and Yodel No. 4 lifts running. Akakan: don't know but rumors were the gondola and top lift will run. Suginohara is scheudled to open, but only has info from November up. Myoko RunRun seems to be open for the kids and beginners. Seki is open. Tangram is not. Madarao: not yet. Arai: Gondola, Saroku No. 1, Zendana lifts. And Kurohime, not yet.
I'll go to the full chart listings from tomorrow. In the meantime, bug your favorite resort to please share more information with you, our valued guests!
