Ski Resort Openings - 2014/2015 Season

I know..., it is still autumn and the leaves are not even at their best yet, but it is that time of year where we are starting to get excited about winter.


The resorts are starting to kick into gear and there are a few opening dates trickling out. We'll update with a full list closer to the time but for those of you thinking of getting some early turns in or getting a headstart on learning this winter, here some (planned) opening dates so far.

Kagura have snowmaking facilities on their main run so even in a slow-starting winter they normally hit their planned opening date no matter what. It just depends on nature as to how much snow there is and how much of the mountain is open. Other resorts tend to have to wait for the white stuff to fall to give them a decent base.

Kagura - November 22nd 2014
Tashiro - December 6th
Naeba - December 13th
Norn - December 18th
Ishiuchi - December 19th
GALA - December 20th
NASPA - December 20th
Kandatsu - December 20th
Hakkai-san - December 20th

Plenty more dates to come.
