[2025 Yuzawa Attraction] Travel Guide for Kagura Ski Resort (Updated Mar)

#skitrip Family backcountry ski weekend in Yuzawa area. Saturday: close to Tashiro Kagura ski resort, a small and easy summit with excellent downhill in powder snow (répétition from 2 weeks ago) Second day a bit longer with very nice weather except a crazy wind at the summit - we had to fight it for just a few minutes but it was really tough. It seemed that the mountain thought that 1000m elevation was not enough to deserve the delightful downhill in a large couloir in good snow. So we had to get this crazy wind. But definitely the downhill was worth it!
