ENCORE EDIT / Shiga Kogen: Japan's Largest Ski Resort with Robel Zemichael / Shiga International Ski School

Snow Country Stories Japan

The podcast is currently on a break between Season 3 and Season 4. As promised, during this period I’ll be uploading previous episode or two, beginning with this edit of what was the Episode 13 of the podcast, and the first of Season 2 – Shiga Kogen Ski Resort: Japan’s Largest Ski Resort. In this episode I spoke with two-time Olympian Robel Zemichael about Shiga Kogen Mountain Resort, which lays claim to being both Japan’s largest and highest ski resort. Robel is the manager of Shiga International Ski School and based in Shiga Kogen all year round, so there’s no better person to speak with and he advocates for Shiga wonderfully.

Important to note that this is an edited version of the longer original episode, in which Robel and I went into more detailed discussion about all aspects of the resort, services provide by Shiga International Ski School, accommodation and more. If you haven’t already, make sure to listen to the full episode. This edit provides a taste of the longer conversation I had with Robel, but I think it interesting in its own right while it might also prompt you to go back and listen to the longer, original version. I hope you enjoy!
