Steep slope powder, fast track, Naeba Prince Hotel

Naeba is probably the most famous ski resort in Japan.

It has 24 courses with 3 gondolas and 11 lifts on the slopes that spread over Mt. Takeshi, and the longest run is 4km. The Naeba Prince Hotel and other facilities and a wide range of activities will satisfy skiers of all ages and interests, but Naeba is also attractive to free skiers. There are 6 steep slopes, including Naeba's famous "large slope" with a maximum slope of 32 degrees, and an official course for the FIS Alpine World Cup. After a snowfall, the non-compressed snow course becomes a steep and powder thrilling face.

“Fast track” is another reason why free skiers love Naeba.

On Sunday mornings, you can ride the first gondola for 1,200 yen for 30 minutes before the gondola opens. In addition, the Naeba Snow Park along the No. 5 lift is well-maintained and safe for practicing. Naeba is called Mt Naeba together with the neighboring Kagura Ski Resort. The Kagura/Tashiro area can be easily accessed from Naeba by the longest train in Japan, the Naeba Dragon Dora. Kagura is even higher than Naeba and has a lot of snow, so this is also a must-see for powder freaks.

Maximum slope: 30 degrees Average: 26 degrees / Distance: 415m / Slope direction: ー

One of Naeba's famous steep slope courses. The Baan, named after the name of the W Cup course, has a maximum gradient of 30 degrees and an average of 26 degrees, and is usually uncompacted. A popular local course where you can enjoy long run powder after snowfall.

Maximum slope: 32 degrees Average: 25 degrees / Distance: 581m / Slope direction: ー

This is also W cup burn. A steep slope that is crunchy at the time of leveling. After the snowfall, it becomes a tough powder burn. Because the course width is wide, you may be confused by the feeling of slope, but it is a steep slope of up to 32 degrees. The first thing in the morning after a snowfall is an irresistible stage for advanced skiers.

Maximum slope: 32 degrees Average: 21 degrees / Distance: 435m / Slope direction: ー

The course at the summit of Naeba. A barn where you can feel the great nature that exceeds the forest limit. The ground here is also uneven and becomes a powder field after a snowfall. We use the Takeshiyama Romance Lift, but after it snows, it opens later than the other lifts, so it is a promise to go to the top after attacking the lower Riesen course. The maximum slope is 32 degrees.
