First time at Drifter. Definitely won’t be our last! Epic spot. Amazing snow. Soooooo much pow! Chris & Amy and the rest of the team went above and beyond to make sure we all had an amazing time. We ended up staying an extra 10 days we loved it so much!

Best experience, food was so yummy and staff were super helpful!! Rooms and bathrooms are newly renovated and modern facilities with the same creature comforts you love in Japan. A fun place to stay. Great location!

A gem i the ruff for sure. Ski-In, Ski-Out of Suginohara. Literally. 5 min drive from Ikenotaira (Alpen Blick Resort now) & 10 min from Akakura. Snug rooms, awesome floor heating and was very comfy for our 2 families. The breakfast was amazing & cooked by the owner who definitely knows his stuff. Cant wait to go back! Thank you C!
