Recent Reviews

Tsugaike is just one of 10 ski resorts in the Hakuba area that are covered by the Hakuba pass.
It has a good variety of terrain, unfortunately when we were there the snow fall was light so we didn't get to ski deep powder. The resort is mainly for intermediate and beginner skiers, but has some steeper terrain for the more advanced riders.
There is a gondola that can take you almost to the top as well as many chairs.
Night skiing is also available.
The whole Hakuba area is well worth a visit and the local people are very helpful.
I look forward to returning soon.
