Madarao Mountain Resort | Epic Tree Runs

Venue in Madarao Kogen, Iiyama, Nagano

Open glades through old-growth forest fed by Sea-of-Japan moisture. The tree skiing here is what people actually mean when they say Japow — untouched lines through powder between real trees. Best after a recent dump. ¥6,500 advance day pass, locals-favored, intentionally under the radar. About 2 hours from Komoro.
