Gunma Minakami Hodaigi Ski Resort ['25-26]

Minakami Town is known for its numerous snow resorts, hot springs, and Mount Tanigawa, one of Japan's 100 most famous mountains. With its highest point at 1,400m, the ski resort boasts abundant snowfall and world-class powder snow

The resort offers a wide variety of course layouts, from challenging runs with a maximum slope of 40 degrees to gentle runs that are safe for beginners. There is also a snow park and a kids' land with a snow escalator. This is a well-balanced ski resort that can be enjoyed by a wide range of people, from advanced powder-loving skiers to families with children

Tree run area expanded！

The tree run area has been expanded, allowing you to enjoy the natural terrain and the outstanding snow quality that can only be achieved on ungroomed snow!
There are two courses: "NT," which leads to a connecting course for beginners, and "Crane," which joins midway through the 1,400m advanced course that extends from the summit.
Unlike groomed courses, you can experience the true charm of snowy mountains, the rich nature, the power and thrills, by skiing through the trees and natural obstacles.

New dog snow area！

A new area has been added at the bottom of the ski slope, on a gentle slope next to Kids Land, where you can enjoy the snowy mountains with your dog!

As a new way to spend winter with your beloved dog, the ski resort aims to "spread the culture of the joy of skiing with your beloved dog," and last season held "The DOG DAY in HO-DAIGI," the first such event in Minakami town, where you could enjoy skiing with your beloved dog. Viewing the snowy scenery from the lift together and running freely across the snowy fields are sure to become irreplaceable memories for your dog.

Maximum gradient: 40 degrees, average gradient: 25 degrees / Distance: 500m / Slope orientation: North

This advanced course, with a maximum gradient of 40 degrees, descends to the left after exiting the No. 7 lift. With a moderate average gradient of 25 degrees, it offers a fun cruising experience, smashing powder into the walls on the sides of the course. You can also enjoy deep powder on the steep faces that cannot be groomed

Maximum gradient: 32 degrees, average gradient: 24 degrees / Distance: 750m / Slope orientation: North

Located immediately to the right after getting off the No. 7 lift, this is an advanced course with a maximum gradient of 32 degrees. Because it is a steep slope and cannot be packed down, deep powder is guaranteed after snowfall. The north-facing slope maintains good snow conditions. With an average gradient of 24 degrees and ample course width, it is perfect for enjoying high-speed turns

Maximum gradient: 35 degrees, average gradient: 20 degrees / Distance: 680m / Slope orientation: North

This is an advanced course that starts midway down the Panorama Course to the right of the summit of the 7th lift. The steep face, with a maximum of 35 degrees, is ungroomed and cannot be packed down, so there's a chance to enjoy waist-deep powder the morning after a snowfall. Another joy is skiing while taking in the beautiful, expansive scenery that stretches out into the distance
