WHEN DOES IT SNOW

Officially most resorts open Dec 1st and close at the end of ‘Golden Week’ (the first week of May). Snow conditions vary but are typically at their best from mid-December to mid- March. It is possible to be riding powder as early as late November and warm, sunnier days in April are great for cruising on piste, parks and back-country hikes.
