Introducing recommended courses, weather forecasts, live cameras, and course maps for Seki Onsen Ski Resort
Seki Onsen (Niigata Prefecture) is such a ski resort
A special home with irresistible heavy snow and local atmosphere
Seki Onsen is a famous ski resort among powder-loving skiers and snowboarders. The Myoko area is the area where the cold air from the Sea of Japan hits snow first.
The course design is simple with only two lifts, but the course is full of ups and downs, and most of the snow is not compacted. It is popular among powder enthusiasts as a little-known spot that they don't want to tell people about.
The charm of Seki Onsen is not only the heavy snow, but also the atmospheric hot springs and the Japanese rural atmosphere. The ski slopes also have a local mood and a comfortable "home feeling".
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.
