Shred after Dark

If you still have some energy left, or took a day off and are now itchin to get on the mountain, we highly recommend you check out Yanaba Snow Resort for a nye-tah (Japanese for night skiing). As you can see on the course map above, half the park is lit up as well as the "cross course line" off on the skiers left. A "nighter" is only ¥1500 and includes a drink. Good fun when you go with a bunch of friends, you are either shredding or watching your friends have a go while riding the lift.

To get to Yanaba Snow Resort from Lodge tabi-tabi walk to Kamishiro station (10 minutes) and take the 9 minute, 200 yen ride to Yanaba Ski Jo Mae Station (the resort has it's own train station!).
