In spring, the best time to ski is early in the morning when the slopes are firm and clean
At Hoshino Resorts Nekoma Mountain, the lifts open early in the spring season, starting at 5:55 AM on weekends and holidays, and 7:30 AM on weekdays.
You can ski on the slopes first thing in the morning when they are in perfect condition, firmed up just by the cool night air. It's a special time that can only be experienced on early spring mornings when the sun rises earlier.
Spring skiing can be combined with cherry blossom viewing and sightseeing
It's recommended to ski intensely in the morning, then finish early in the day when the slopes soften, and explore the Aizu area in spring.
Enjoy the luxurious cherry blossom viewing experience, where you can enjoy the contrast between the surrounding cherry blossoms, which are in full bloom from late April to early May, and the snow-covered mountain scenery. Being able to enjoy both snow and cherry blossoms is a unique feature of this area.
The ski resort is scheduled to be open until Wednesday, May 6th. With the "Spring Limited Season Pass," you can enjoy a fulfilling day starting with a luxurious morning activity on the snowy mountain, as well as intensive skill improvement.
