The Ski Channel introduces Myokoing, a short film documenting a group of professional skiers who have discovered a hidden gem in one of skiing's most-hyped destinations. Japan's northern regions have a history as skiing hot-spots, but Myoko remains largely undiscovered. Myoko is located about an hour's drive north of Nagano, site of the 1998 Olympic Winter Games.

Spent a season there in 91 -92. The place is awesome. Deep dry light powder. Oh yeah.
Spent all last winter in Nagano. Any explanation on how awesome the powder is, is an understatement. I've never been to a place where almost every day, you get at least some fresh powder on top without hunting it down. And when it dumps... O BABY!
Yo Awesome video, keep this type of content coming! thanks ski channel
great vid!!!! Winter Japan is amazing!
Best ski video ever!!
Love Japan ski videos! Japan would be a dream trip for me. I just wish I knew how much of the terrain in of all of these Japan videos are accessible off of lifts vs. backcountry skinning or out of bounds (I've never skinned). My understanding is that tree skiing is actually out of bounds? It would be nice to know what I'd actually be skiing if I stay in bounds. Any companies that set up ski trips to Japan from North America? Would love to look into what's involved to actually get over there? Best time of winter to have consistent snowfall? Thanks!
beutiful japan!
Wow.
Something I wanna try, I only ski in norway
good job man
lived there for a year the best
would you mind explaining some stuff but idk to write here??
Nice video !
top !!!!!!
damn, that shot at 1:19 !
Its the reason why I ski Japan every year
Any advice on areas to ski and best time of year to hit it. Thanks
@@mtadams2009 Sorry for the late response I just picked this up now, Skiing in Japan is best period between mid January (No earlier because you have Japanese school holidays) to end February. Also, check to see when the Chinese new year is and avoid this period as heaps of Chinese come to Japan and cause chaos on the slopes. My number 1 pick is Myoko. Myoko has many ski mountains to choose from as well as local resorts, Madarao, Lotte Arai, Nozawa Onsen and many more in the near vicinity. The trick is to get accomodation within Myoko town and from there everything else is easily accessible. You can you tube or google all these resorts and check out videos and trail maps. Another awesome resort is Shiga Kogen, amazing place, it's huge and you can ski this mountain and surrounding mountains sometimes without seeing anyone. Good luck
@@powderskier5547 Thanks so much. Let's hope for a good ski year. Take care
@@mtadams2009 Any luck getting to Japan this season? I'm heading over early February, doing Myoko, Shiga Kogen and last Hakuba
@@powderskier5547 Sadly not this year. In two years my wife gets a six month sabbatical, so I think that’s when I will get over there. We plan a very long road trip then. Have a great trip.
Looks amazing. What are the avalanche conditions like in this area (japanese alps)? Are they tricky and dangerous due to the constant snowfall? Or does the depth of the snow pack make for a relatively stable base and easily forecastable conditions?
+Johan Uribe They can't forecast at most ski resorts in Japan due to the huge amount of snowfall.
Fjellermis I wish my local resorts had that problem.
Omg!
1000th like :)
Finally found guys who CAN ski....
Love ❤️ Off-Piste Skiing ⛷
will be there in 3 months, so keen
was it good?
+OllieML hah Myoko seems to be a beginners mountain, the runs are very flat and quite boring tbh. Shiga Kogen, hakuba or nozawa onsen offer much more fun IMO. These guys must be skiing backcountry.... this place looked amazing on paper but it was pretty disappointing and I don't think ill be returning. Food and accommodation were alright though
+Funny Vines and Awesome videos Its a shame. That place looks so good in this video
+OllieML yeah it sure is, I recommend Shiga Kogen.. it actually has powder like this off piste (and easy to access)
Then stay in Germany then and ski there. I ski Japan all over regular, no issue, best snow in the world
some calming music, like that at the end, maybe some yoga style music and i could just watch this til i fall asleep, then dream
I would love to ski pow like that. I have thought of going but I know the trip would cost a lot of money and I am afraid that the hard pack from my home ski mt in Vt. would follow me as it has my last few trips to JH, Snowbird-Alta. I don't want to ruin it for anyone else, just kidding. The place looks like heaven to me.
did you have to say where it is
weird song
What are his skis and how large are they at the boot?
Jazz Warrior in the vid clip they are K2 Hellbent. These are big and wide with powder rocker. I have a pair of 2013s. Bad ass skis for powder. Shop amazon
What is this song? I need it
Buck 65 ft. Jenn Grant - Cold Steel Drum
you're welcome!
(btw, first time I was hearing it too ;))
Wicked!! Quite right about the amount of snow! Whilst it is normally pretty safe we did see a handful of avalanche last season in central Hokkaido. Check out our film 'Rishiri' on TH-cam for some volcano skiing action. Enjoyed your channel. Thx!
Here in norway can we Get 5 feet of snow over the night and its no big deal
But does that happen every day? In Japan it snows almost every day and or night. The snow quality is the lightest softest powder I have come across anywhere in the world. Japan is blessed by the snow Gods, this is the reason I ski Japan every year, 8 years in a row now
10th comment omg
Clicked on this cuz I seen some hellbents
How expensive would it be to go there for 8 nights? Nothing special just regular grocery food?
Kaloyan Bankov japan itself is actually extremely cheap. most of the food they sell there is almost always homegrown and therefore organic and cheap. But the tickets are the tricky part. it’s best to do research prior to buying your flight, and try to buy a ticket months before you plan to go to get the best deals!
Kaloyan Bankov lots of cheap capsule hotels in tokyo if you’re looking to stay there. airbnbs are common in rural parts
This music is horrible haha.
止めろ！ 日本のルールを守れ もし事故が起きたら 誰が助けに行くんだ！
Stop it! Follow Japanese rules Who will go to help if an accident occurs!
