Outstanding fun that Hakuba locals secretly attend

Iwatake is sandwiched between Happo and Tsugaike, making it a little less spotlighted, but it's actually the number one slope that Hakuba's locals secretly prefer. The main reasons for this are the excellent terrain for freeriding, the only slope in the Hakuba area that allows skiing towards the Northern Alps, and the low rate of powder competition.

Iwatake is very attractive because of its slope design that preserves the charm of the natural topography. Large bowls, undulating ridges and creeks are uncompacted and are great powder areas after fresh snow. The non-compacted snow course has expanded year by year, and now it has expanded to 7 courses. Also, on the long course from the summit to the foot of the mountain, you can also play against the wall.

Mt. Iwatake has a perfect selection of courses that can be enjoyed with or without snow. If you don't know or don't go, you will lose money.

A stream-like terrain right in the middle of the ski resort. Snow tends to accumulate on the course because it is less affected by the wind. The slope is gentle at first, but the slope increases toward the bottom of the stream.

IWATAKE BACK BOWL, where the course is located, is the only area in HAKUBA VALLEY where you can slide toward the Northern Alps. Not to mention the beautiful scenery. There are courses that everyone from beginner to advanced can enjoy. Views A and B are uncompacted snow slopes, while Views C and D slide down while hitting the walls on the side of the course where the snow is compacted.

Especially in View A, the undulations are intense and the valley terrain is exposed on this hard course. When the fresh snow piles up, it's fun to jump and connect turns along the terrain with a little opportunity. View B is a one-sheet burn with a slope from the beginning. In fresh snow, you can speed up and make big turns.
