Recommended courses at Gunma Minakami Hodaigi Ski Resort
・Eagle course
Maximum slope: 40 degrees Average: 25 degrees / Distance: 500m / Slope direction: North
An advanced course with a maximum gradient of 40 degrees that descends to the left after getting off the 7th lift. With a moderate slope of 25 degrees on average, you can enjoy cruising by hitting the wall on the side of the course while slushing powder. You can also enjoy deep powder on steep slope faces that cannot be compacted.
・Downhill course
Maximum slope: 32 degrees Average: 24 degrees / Distance: 750m / Slope orientation: North
An advanced course with a maximum slope of 32 degrees is located immediately to the right after getting off the 7th lift. Deep powder is a promise after a snowfall, as snow cannot be compacted on steep slopes. Good snow conditions are maintained due to the north-facing slopes. With an average slope of 24 degrees and a wide course width, it's perfect for enjoying high-speed turns.
・Paradise course
Maximum slope: 35 degrees Average: 20 degrees / Distance: 680m / Slope orientation: North
A course for advanced skiers that descends from the middle of the panorama course on the right side of the 7th lift summit. The maximum steep face of 35 degrees does not allow compacted snow to enter, so there is a chance to enjoy waist pow the next morning after a snowfall. It is also a pleasure to ski while looking at the spacious and beautiful scenery beyond the field of vision.
