JAPOW PARADISE

APPI’s powder is well-known for being incredibly fine and dry – perfect for effortless turns and deep days in the white room.

ENDLESS LINES

Imagine gliding down Yamabato, APPI’s 5.5 km run, where each turn from Mt. Maemori reveals breathtaking views over a blanket of soft, powdery snow. This isn't just a run; it's a magical journey.

FLAVORS OF IWATE

Once you've conquered the slopes, treat your taste buds to tender Maezawa beef and fresh Sanriku seafood— flavors that reflect Iwate’s culinary treasures and linger long after the last bite.

LOCAL HACK
