GALA Yuzawa recommended course

・2.6 million dollars

Maximum slope: 32 degrees Average: 15 degrees / Distance: 340m / Slope direction: ー

2.6 million dollars in the south area is GALA Yuzawa's No. 1 hard course with uncompacted snow. Very popular with challenging skaters, the opening of this course is considered a treasure. When it snows, you can enjoy the best powder as it is.

・Bronco A, B

Maximum slope: 30 degrees Average: 17 degrees / Distance: 700m / Slope direction: ー

Bronco is located in the southern area of ​​the ski resort, which has many off-piste zones.

The upper part of this course along the pair lift is an image of a series of large steps with natural ups and downs. When the snow is new, the powder that takes advantage of the topography, and when it is not, the irregular bumps continue until they join the "Eliza Course". The lower part is a gentle mortar-shaped topography. Like the upper part of the Bronco, there is a big step, and you can jump with a slight drop. I want to turn this course with the pair lift over the course when it snows.

・Super Swan

Maximum slope: 33 degrees Average: 20 degrees / Distance: 160 m / Slope orientation: -

Beginning at the top of the Victoria lift in the north area, descend the swan course for beginners, and enter from the middle. Gala's famous course where you can enjoy powder during snowfall and natural bumps throughout the season. The maximum slope of GALA Yuzawa is 33°. A face for experts.

・Falcon (Shimoyama course)

Maximum slope: 20 degrees Average: 15 degrees / Distance: about 2500m / Slope direction: ー

A downhill course from the north area to Ski Center Kawabanga.

Although the maximum slope is 20 degrees, there are places where the course width is narrow, so you want to control your speed and ski. The highlight is the location where you can see the snowy mountains of Minami Uonuma from the Tanigawa mountain range. Long cruising while admiring the superb view is exceptional. In addition, there are walls on both sides of the course, and there are many terrains that are easy to hit in the total distance of 2.5km, so it is one of the best descent courses in Japan that you can ski without getting bored.
