Despite its compact size, the slopes feature an engaging course layout that makes the most of the terrain (30% beginner, 40% intermediate, 30% advanced). Primarily consisting of moderate to steep slopes, it offers thrilling skiing.
The advanced “Silver Fan Course” is left completely ungroomed to offer the steepest slopes and finest powder snow within the Myōkō Mountain Range. Come spring, parts of it transform into mogul-like terrain, creating an irresistible course for expert skiers.
The deep powder snow is highly praised, and the resort offers a wide range of activities perfect for those who want to enjoy the mountains to the fullest, including a snowboard halfpipe and jump ramps. Powder board test rides are also available.
After working up a sweat, you can enjoy day-trip bathing at Seki Onsen or Tsubame Onsen, both featuring 100% natural spring water flowing directly from the source. This ski resort is perfect for those who want to enjoy both skiing and hot springs.
