Katashina Oguna Hotaka Ski Resort Recommended Course
・Slalom course
Maximum slope: 30 degrees Average: 22 degrees / Distance: 400m / Slope orientation: Southwest
When it snows, this is the first place to go! The overall width of the course is wide, making it perfect for drawing nice, large spurts. There are steep sections with a maximum slope of 30 degrees, allowing you to enjoy overhead powder. It's sure to be a hot course that attracts many powder freaks.
・Slope 6
Maximum slope: 25 degrees Average: 18 degrees / Distance: 750m / Slope direction: East
It's not an uncompacted snow course, but the snow is so smooth that only this No. 6 slope is often covered with powder. The quality and depth of the snow is perfect on days when it has fallen. Located at the top of the slope, the view is outstanding.
・Wedern course
Maximum slope: 30 degrees Average: 22 degrees / Distance: 300m / Slope direction: Northeast
The size of the course is small, but the bowl shape makes it easy for powder to accumulate. Therefore, in terms of depth, it is No. 1 in the hall. Over time, the slopes may turn into bumpy slopes, but it's also fun to attack them wildly.

Recommended information from ski resorts
Ogna Oze Pork Bowl
@ Restaurant Squarell '23-24 season, it has been renewed and the menu has been further enhanced. The ``Barley Pork Ognadon'' that was previously available has been renewed, and two new types have been added: spicy kimchi and green onion salt lemon, which you can see in the photo. In addition, we use Oze pork, a local ingredient, and effectively utilize it as a locally produced and locally consumed menu. They are fed a special feed containing catechin, a component of tea, and whey, a milk product produced when making cheese, resulting in juicy meat with a mellow texture.
