Deep Powder, Every Time
In the North Area, the run known as Deep 1 earns its name with fresh resets of feather-light snow. Protected terrain keeps the powder perfect from first tracks to last laps.
South Side Secrets
On storm days, White Valley 2 in the South Area fills fast with powder just minutes from the base. Nearby Black Valley keeps the snow stacked, rewarding riders chasing fresh lines.
Views Worth the Ride
From the top of the Alts Express, capture Mount Bandai and Lake Inawashiro in one frame. On lucky mornings, a sea of clouds rolls in below, creating one of Japan’s most breathtaking photo ops.
Local Hack
Plan a trip to nearby Kitakata City, a ramen mecca with more than 100 shops – a true pilgrimage for noodle lovers. Extend the adventure with a visit to Ouchi-juku, a preserved Edo-era post town where thatched-roof houses and quiet streets feel like stepping back in time.
