Muikamachi Hakkaisan is famous for deep powder and is a favorite ski resort for powder lovers. There must be a lot of skiers and snowboarders who were disappointed because it was closed during the high season, especially this winter with a lot of snow. Everyone who was looking forward to the resumption of business can still enjoy the powder in the second half of the season. Let's enjoy the snow that piled up while we are closed and go skiing!
