Seki Onsen recommended course

・Third lift non-compressed snow course

Maximum slope: 45 degrees Average: 30 degrees / Distance: 1000m / Slope direction: West

The third lift non-compacted snow course faces west, and the powder snow in the morning sun is exceptional. The north slope is adjacent to the west-facing slope, so you can enjoy powder snow in the afternoon. Because it is a very popular course, it is inevitable to concentrate on skiing in the powder morning after a snowfall.

・Lerch course right side

Maximum slope: 17 degrees Average: 15 degrees 

According to the staff of Seki Onsen, "If you want to enjoy the powder slowly like a gentleman, the right side of the Lerch course is recommended." Current riders judge every day, and depending on the situation, the course conditions are a combination of compacted and uncompacted snow. Part of the course also has parks.

・Skyline course 

Maximum slope: 12 degrees Average: 10 degrees

A gentle slope that is easy for beginners and the elderly. It's groomed every day, but on snowy days it becomes a loose powder field, perfect for trying fat skis and practicing telemarks.
