Yamagata, Japan

Find people to ride with at Zao Onsen

Zao Onsen is famous for its snow monsters, trees encased in thick rime ice that create one of Japan's most unusual winter landscapes. The hot-spring town at the base has sulphur baths and a traditional feel. Long runs wind down from the upper slopes through the trees, so there's plenty for intermediates to explore together.
