You won't find big names or a four metre plus snow base in Okayama. There are only a handful of resorts here and they have limited lift systems and short runs.

Mid season usually sees a snow base of around a metre, which is more than enough to keep the locals happy. But you might find it a little unpredictable for a week's holiday, especially in milder winters.
