Ontake 2240 (長野県のスキー場)

Nagano Prefecture, Japan · 18 km of runs, 3 lifts, top 2212 m

High on the slopes of Mount Ontake in Otaki village, Nagano, this is one of the highest ski areas in Japan. Open since 1961, its chairlifts serve mostly easy runs plus steeper pitches, and the altitude helps it hold snow late into the season for skiers who like a quiet, high-mountain feel.
