Zao is a good resort for beginners or intermediates. If you are an expert skier or snowboarder, areas such as Hakuba or Niseko offer much better terrain. Zao Ski Resort has a poor lift layout and it is difficult to move around the mountain. Also off-piste skiing is not allowed. The management should open up the backcountry and more challenging terrain.

It can be quite busy but you get great views of the surrounding countryside.
