Jase and his crew run a very organised operation that caters for a large range of abilities. Pickup times are strictly adhered to and it’s great that the crew look after your skis and poles at the end of the day and then have them ready for you the next morning, ready to hit the slopes. The guides always did a great job of looking after us and trying to ensure everyone skied with people of similar ability.
When I arrived in Yudanaka there had been no snow for several days, yet the guides had no issues finding powder for us to ski in amongst the trees. On our third or fourth day there was no problem finding powder anywhere due to the consistent dumping of snow, which lasted for the next five or so days. I never thought I would say this, but by the third day of snow it was almost like there was too much snow, with almost 2 metres of snow falling at Shiga Kogen.
I stayed at the Hotel Omadaka and it was nice staying at this traditional Japanese hotel. The rooms might be a bit on the old side, but they were large and always kept clean. The onsite onsens were brilliant to relax in after a hard day’s skiing and the burgers at the bar were excellent. Breakfast was interesting as it was traditional Japanese fare, but it did get you fuelled for the day ahead. I would thoroughly recommend doing one of Jase’s Powder Tours.
