's "sauna" has been renovated!
The sauna at Hotel Green Plaza Hakuba, the official hotel with direct access to the ski slopes, has reopened this season. The men's bathroom is fully equipped with an automatic steamer, and aromatic water is periodically poured into the sauna stone to generate steam.

・Antelope course
Maximum slope: 30 degrees Average: 17 degrees / Distance: 300m / Slope orientation: South
The overall length is also relatively short, making it perfect for intermediate powder practice. The slope faces south, so an early entry is best in terms of conditions.

Maximum slope: 42 degrees Average: 36 degrees / Distance: 625m / Slope orientation: North
The maximum slope is 42 degrees steep. You can experience a Steep & Deep ride that you can't taste anywhere else when the famous finest powder is piled up here. One of the best expert-only powder courses in Japan that you definitely want to go when the fresh snow falls. Let's ski non-stop to the bottom with a height difference of 321m and a total length of 625m.
・Hiedayama Course 3
Maximum slope: 39 degrees Average: 27 degrees / Distance: 690m / Slope orientation: North
You can enjoy the powder run slowly while looking down at the hotel. The course is relatively wide and slippery, so it is recommended for advanced powder run practice.
