Hakuba Norikura Snow History

Tsubame Highland Lodge - Staying at the Wild Side of Myoko

After the Sapporo olympics of 1972, Japan invested wildly in ski resorts but a combination of economic stagnation, declining population and a strong currency took their toll and the bubble burst. Hundreds of ski resorts were subsequently abandoned and the majority that survived (still about 600) haven't generally made enough money to reinvest. Old lifts and tired buildings are still widespread at many resorts but those are the only negatives in a country where so much scores so highly. The Japa

We skied Norikura in the same day as Cortina on an amazing value lift pass of 4500 Yen. It was a clear blue ski day with stunning views of the Japanese Alps and the Hakuba valley. It's difficult to think of more beautiful scenery for skiing in. There is a huge area at the base, for beginners, with several runs to move on up to. One large open unpisted area at the top for powder hounds. Some tree skiing. Very easy access into Cortina which has one long run suitable for anyone who has skied 3 days. Cortina has vast areas of advanced skiing, best done straight after a dump. We ate in a big restaurant in Norikura, and like all eating in this area, easy ordering, unbelievably quick service, delicious food and not expensive (pork, rice, beer about 1400 Yen, in and out in under 30 minutes). Why ski anywhere else than Japan?
