As a result of removing the aging lift last season, the uncompacted snow area will expand this season as well. Along the former Hikage Lift and the former View 1 Lift, you can enjoy the powder snow, which is said to be suitable for winter sports because of its smooth powdery quality. In addition, we will provide a more enjoyable free riding experience by maintaining the popular View course where you can enjoy the feeling of sliding towards the Northern Alps.

Due to the popularity of last season, the snow park will be permanently set up on the vast south slopes where you can enjoy a spectacular view this season. There are various items such as kickers, waves, rails, and boxes in the silvery white world that spreads all over, so you can enjoy it in your own style.
