In addition, there is a lot of snowfall, and you can sometimes taste the powder in March.

The slopes of Shiratori Kogen are used as a golf course during the green season, and the terrain was intentionally undulated during the design stage, so during the winter season, the rich topography provides a fun way to play in the snow.

In order to maximize the enjoyment of the abundant snow and unique topography, ski restrictions are kept to a minimum to create an environment where all slopes can be skied freely. All-you-can-slide, all-you-can-fly, the whole area is a natural snow park. There are two parks, the main park is accessed by a hooded quad lift that carries from the bottom to the top, with large and small kickers on both sides of the lift line and a variety of boxes and rails. Okumino's best big kicker, which can be said to be a signboard item, is also here.

The other is located halfway up the slopes, and it's more efficient to use the Romance Lift. With a design that can be flowed like a slope style, there are also a variety of items.

Design that allows you to arrange and flow yourself by devising the type and arrangement of items

The Marunuma Plateau, which spreads out on the slopes of Mt.
