The area around Mt. Hiuchi in Myoko City, Niigata Prefecture is famous for its heavy snowfall.
Among them, Charmant Hiuchi has more than 500 cm of snowfall for many days during the high season, so there is no doubt that it has potential. Furthermore, the cold air blowing from the Sea of Japan turns into dry powder, which attracts many skiers. The key words for the ski resort operator are "non-compressed snow principle" and "nature as it is", so that they can enjoy the blessed snow in the best possible environment. It is surprising that about 70% of the snow is set as a non-compacted snow area and course as a result of continuous efforts to not compact the snow.
The trees are growing with a moderate feeling, so it is easy to slip.
Once it rains, it's a charmant hit that becomes a dynamic pile
