All Reviews of Yamagata Zao Onsen Ski Resort

A few years ago, I came here in winter to try skiing. The entire mountain was covered in snow, and everything was blanketed in white as far as the eye could see. The scenery was very dreamlike~ Skiing on real snow was both exciting and fun, and the beautiful snowy scenery all around made me want to keep taking photos. I could also admire the magnificent winter mountain views and fully experience the atmosphere of a snow country. It was an unforgettable winter travel memory!

I finally had the chance to try skiing at Zao Onsen Ski Resort. It was my first time on the snow, and from being cautious at first to slowly finding my balance, every run felt fresh and challenging.
Standing on the snow-covered slope with a silvery-white world all around me, I skied downhill through the frigid air, feeling both nervous and excited. Even though I fell a few times, I couldn’t help getting back up again and again to keep trying.

The area near the cable car station at the bottom of the ski resort is marked as a beginner green run on the map, but it's actually pretty steep—feels more like an intermediate course. It's a bit confusing.
