You’re in for a treat at one of our favourite ski spots — fewer crowds, quality snow, terrain for all levels, and one of Japan’s longest freestyle parks.
Our crew will split into smaller groups by skill level, so you’ll always have people to ride with — and push your limits. Our hosts will be with you throughout the week, sorting out your trip logistics, give you riding tips and showing you our favorite powder runs that we’ve known for years.
