Recommended courses at Hoshino Resorts Nekoma Mountain
・White Valley 2 (south area)
Maximum slope: 29 degrees Average: 22 degrees / Distance: 340m / Slope direction: West
A non-compressed snow course where the fluffy powder of Resort 1 is piled up. The slope is moderate and you can roll up a big spray with a speedy turn. It is attractive that you can reach it with one lift in the morning of powder. If it snows, come here first! It is also great for mogul practice because it is easy to grow natural bumps.
・Deep 1 (north area)
Maximum slope: 30 degrees Average: 14 degrees / Distance: 1200m / Slope orientation: North
A powder haven with the highest altitude of all the resorts, and plenty of fresh micro-fine snow on the course. As the name suggests, it is deep, with a course length of 1200m and a slope of up to 30 degrees. After a snowfall, the battle for powder is inevitable, but if you wake up early, you will surely be caught in the powder.
・Frozen 2 (south area)
Maximum slope: 28 degrees Average: 20 degrees / Distance: 670m / Slope direction: ー
Basically, this is a course where you can enjoy powder without compacted snow. There is a slope at the start, so you can enjoy long runs at speed. On a sunny day after a snowfall, you can see beautiful hoarfrost around you, and the scenery is very nice.
