Introducing recommended courses, weather forecasts, live cameras, and course maps at Rusutsu Resort
Rusutsu Resort (Hokkaido) is such a ski resort
Enjoy beautiful powder tree riding on an overwhelming scale
Rusutsu Resort is located in the central Hokkaido area, close to Niseko. It has 37 courses on three mountains, West Mt., East Mt., and Mt. Hooded lifts and gondolas are functionally laid out in a vast field, so it is characterized by efficient skiing and comfortable movement.
Because Mt. Yotei blocks the moisture that flows in from the Sea of Japan, the powder is drier than in the Niseko area.
Due to the intermittent snowfall from December to February, the face is reset with fresh snow almost every day, and the powder hit rate is high. In addition, Mt.Isola and East Mt. have slopes facing north, so they are less exposed to the sun and maintain good snow conditions. Rusutsu is full of nature, with side country parks that make use of the undulating and varied natural terrain, and tree runs in beautiful forests here and there.
'23-24 season topics
The 25-hour pass and top-up 5-hour pass are available again this season, which are a great deal depending on how you use them.
A 25-hour gondola lift ticket is a lift ticket that can be used 25 times in one-hour increments, and can be used on multiple days during the season. A 25-hour ticket is a ticket containing 25 one-hour tickets. When you first pass through the gate, one hour will be subtracted from your IC lift ticket, leaving you with 24 hours left. You can pass through the gate as many times as you like for one hour after the subtracted timing. From then on, the amount will be deducted every hour, giving you a total of 25 hours of use.
After you have skied for the full hour since passing the gate, your credit will not be deducted until you pass the gate the next time, so you can take a leisurely lunch break during the time you are not skating. Additionally, you can use the ACROS 1st and 2nd pair lifts, East Gondola Route 1, and Tower Pairlifts for free, so don't worry.
If the 25-hour ticket is not enough, you can add the ``Top-up 5-hour ticket'' which can be topped up only by those who purchase the ``25-hour ticket / Advance 25-hour ticket + 5 (30-hour ticket)''. Top-up 5-hour tickets can also be used on multiple dates.
