Okuradake Kogen is a ski area located in Komatsu City in the southern region of Ishikawa Prefecture.
This city-operated ski area has north-facing slopes and three pair lifts (889m, 342m and 654m).
It is usually open for night skiing until 9:00pm on Tuesdays through Saturdays and generally closed on Mondays.
Okuradake Kogen opened in 1969.
At one time, there was apparently a plan to connect Okuradake Kogen with the nearby Torigoe Dainichi Sportsland ski area (in Hakusan City). However, the project never happened, and that ski area eventually closed in 2012. More information on Torigoe Dainichi Sportslandcan be found on SnowJapanHistory.
