Traveler reviews
I had such a great time at Yeti! It was my first time experiencing snow, and it was such a fun and memorable moment. We went around 4PM on a weekend, and there weren’t many people, which made the experience even better.
It gets really cold at night tho so make sure to bring warm clothes if you’re planning to visit.

The slopes were really nice, especially for beginners. It can be a little crowded at the top. Overall I had a great time and seeing Mount Fuji at the back is such a surreal experience!
I have read reviews, and has contemplated to come because we came too early in winter to have snow. But actually having to come here oursleves, we enjoyed it so much!
Yes there’s only patches of snow from snow-makers, and only 2 sections open. But if you have kids, just bring them here. Forget about the reviews, you’ll enjoy it
I had my very first ski lesson here, and it was such a lovely experience! I took a beginner lesson with an instructor who was really helpful and patient. I also spent some time trying on my own to get used to the skis – though I still have a lot to learn (I kept falling and accidentally going sideways instead of straight down the slope 😅).
The facility has all the necessary equipment, which made things super convenient. And the view of Mt. Fuji while skiing? Absolutely breathtaking – definitely the highlight of the day! 🌄
Overall, a fantastic introduction to skiing. I’ll definitely be back for more practice!
