Introducing recommended courses, weather forecasts, live cameras, and course maps for Muikamachi Hakkaisan Ski Resort
Muikamachi Hakkaisan (Niigata Prefecture) is such a ski resort
A steep slope with a perfect score for turning on the ropeway
A ski resort with a linear impression built around the ropeway that spans Mt. Hakkai. The top of the ski resort is not very high at 1,147m above sea level, but it is a heavy snowfall area where the snow clouds coming from the Sea of Japan fall first, so the snowfall in the peak season is overwhelming. The course built along the ropeway is a handsome barn with a maximum gradient of 26-35 degrees, an average of 17-25 degrees, and an elevation difference of 805m. After it snows, it is famous as a powder spot where skiers with thick boards gather.
The lower part of the slope is gentle, and the upper part is all steep upper to intermediate courses. The snow-capped high coniferous forest is beautiful, and it is a ski resort that feels a little different from other ski resorts in North America.

Muikamachi Hakkaisan Ski Resort Recommended Course
・D1 Expert Course
Maximum slope: 35 degrees Average: 22 degrees / Distance: 917m / Slope orientation: North
A straight steep slope line from the top of the ropeway to the 3rd romance lift platform. With a maximum gradient of 35 degrees and an average of 22 degrees, it is literally the most expert course in the field. After the snowfall, use the lift. Alternatively, you can enjoy a quick powder run from the top to the Ropeway Sanroku Station. It's usually bumpy on uneven terrain. It will be a tougher course than powder.
・A3 Downhill Course
Maximum slope: 26 degrees Average: 17 degrees / Distance: 1,193m / Slope orientation: North
Along the ropeway, the line on the left when viewed from below. The snow is compacted, making it slippery and popular with intermediate and advanced skiers. When it snows, more skiers gather than on the expert course. It is also possible to ski all the way down to the bottom of the ropeway.
・C1 Maekura Course
Maximum slope: 29 degrees Average: 16 degrees / Distance: 894m / Slope orientation: North
A slope for intermediate skiers using the 2nd Romance Lift. With a maximum slope of 29 degrees and a total length of 894m, it is also used for alpine training. After the snowfall, the course becomes fresh snow with a moderate slope. It is also recommended for intermediate powder tries.
