Early Season Skiing in Snow Country

We know it is still autumn and there is plenty of time to go before the winter season starts, but with the first snow falling up high the other day, the drop in the temperature and the appearance of some winter adverts around the place, it is hard not to start to get a little bit excited.

If you are like us, it has been far too long since you strapped on your skis or board and you are counting the days until you get back on the snow. To help your countdown, here are the first places that open up each winter around Snow Country. These are the planned opening dates so are subject to weather conditions (but we are putting our money on a big snow year with an early start this year.)

Okutadami Maruyama - Saturday 19th November

Kagura - Wednesday 23rd November

Tenjindaira - TBC (but they usually try to open at the end of November)

Just over a month to wait if you are looking forward to winter....
