Niigata, Japan

Find ski buddies in Niigata

Niigata is snow country. From the city, riders head inland to the Yuzawa area, home to Naeba, Kagura, Gala Yuzawa and a cluster of smaller resorts, or west to Myoko, known for deep powder and old onsen villages like Akakura. Expressways and the shinkansen make both easy to reach, and many locals grew up skiing on school trips. Weekends are busy with visitors from Tokyo, while midweek riding is quiet, so it pays to find people who share your days off.
