Slope maintenance: Mowing the 3m high Japanese pampas grass!<\/h2>\r\n

\"\"<\/p>\r\n

At the ski resort “Cupid Valley” in Yasuzuka-Ward, Joetsu City, Niigata Prefecture, grass cutting is being carried out to prepare the slopes for the coming ski season.<\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\r\n

The ski resort \u201cCupid Valley\u201d is located on the Snowman Plateau at an altitude of 430m.\u00a0 Smile Resort Group took over the management of this ski resort from this year, and weeding of the ski slope has been underway from October 20th for the new ski season.<\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\r\n


\r\nThe\u00a0Japanese pampas grass growing on the slope is about 3m tall.\u00a0 We will mow it with a special machine, which has a width of about 2 m.\u00a0 The total area of the slope is 47ha. The maximum slope is 32 degrees.\u00a0 The summit of the ski resort is 920m high, and the altitude difference on the slopes is 490m.
\r\nWork will be done on all courses, and steep slopes will be cut manually.<\/p>\r\n

\r\nMr. Wakai of Smile Resort said, \u201cI hope that it will be snowing a lot this year and many customers can come.<\/p>\r\n

I would like to proceed with the maintenance, and get everything into shape by the end of this month.\u00a0 Last year it was hard because it didn\u2019t snow.\u00a0 This year we have had to deal with the corona virus, but we expect a lot of snow, and will do our best to help customers enjoy their time here safely and securely.”<\/p>\r\n

Cupid Valley\u00a0is scheduled to open on Friday, December 18th.\u00a0 Also, very good deal season tickets will be available until December 6th (Sun) before the opening.\u00a0 Check the Cupid Valley homepage for details!<\/p>\r\n
