Facing north, it is easy to maintain good snow conditions. The secret to its popularity is that it can be rotated with just one lift. You can also enjoy a magnificent panorama from the top of the course. .
・Heavenly46°
Maximum slope: 46 degrees Average: 43 degrees / Distance: 400m / Slope orientation: North The
maximum slope of 46 degrees is the steepest in Japan! It's a special spot that only opens when the snow is solid and the conditions are good. It's thrilling to get to the top and be unable to see the bottom because the slope is so steep. On mornings when fresh powder accumulates here, you'll be able to enjoy steep and deep rides that would be featured on the covers of foreign ski magazines.
