INDEX
Able Hakuba Goryu (Nagano Prefecture) is such a ski resort
Enjoy double the fun with Hakuba 47, a slope with diverse characteristics
The upper slopes are characterized by a long season where you can ski from late November until the end of the May holidays. There are three unique slope layouts: ``Alps,'' ``Toomi,'' and ``Iimori,'' with dedicated areas such as a mogul course, a park, and a kids' slope.
The view from the Alps-daira ski slope is outstanding when you go up in one gondola. There are courses where you can enjoy uncompacted snow and bumps on the side of the slopes, and courses where the entire surface becomes uncompacted snow after it snows. The wide barn Toomi Slope at the bottom is also open for night skiing. The upper part of the slope is connected to Hakuba47, so you can enjoy variations with it.

Popular night game open every day this season!
Goryu is the only ski resort in the Hakuba area that is open at night. It also has long hours, from 18:00 to 21:30 every day. Furthermore, starting this season, the night skiing area has been expanded to include the Toomi slope and part of the Iimori slope, making it wider and longer, allowing even kids and beginners to ski safely and comfortably. Every day after closing for the day, an hour is spent grooming the slopes with snow groomers, resulting in beautifully groomed runs that are very easy to ski on. It is popular because it makes you feel like you've improved your skiing skills.
Able Hakuba Goryu recommended course
・Champion Expert Course
Maximum slope: 35 degrees Average: 30 degrees / Distance: About 500m / Slope orientation: East
The steepest slope in the ski resort. At the beginning, the width is narrow and the slope is gentle, but after about 100m, the slope gradually drops to the skier's left side and the slope increases. The slope is so steep that even a snow compactor cannot enter, so bumpy slopes are easy to form. When the snow is fresh, the slope changes can be enjoyed, but when the snow is not fresh, the slope is highly difficult.
・Technical course
Maximum slope: 28 degrees Average: 24 degrees / Distance: About 300m / Slope direction: East
Accessible from Alps-daira Panorama Course and Grand Prix Course lift platform, making it easy to enter. That's why the competition rate when it's fresh snow is high. The whole course can be seen from the top of the lift, so it feels like a little stage for skiers. It is easy to slip because it is a single flat slope. There are often line bumps in the middle of the course width, so be careful when the snow is light.
・Grand Prix course
Maximum slope: 23 degrees Average: 21 degrees / Distance: about 900m / Slope orientation: East
The largest single barn at the ski resort. Because the flat surface is wide, big turns feel good. On days when it snows, aim for both ends of the course. There are large steps on the skiers right side, and the terrain is good for jumping. The upper part of the skier's left side is interesting under the lift line. The terrain is undulating and you can enjoy it even if the slope is gentle. Above all, the view is good and it feels good.
