Seki Onsen recommended course

・Third lift ungroomed course

Maximum gradient: 45 degrees, average gradient: 30 degrees / Distance: 1000m / Slope orientation: West

The ungroomed course on the third lift faces west, and the powder snow bathed in the morning sun is exceptional. The west-facing slope is adjacent to the north-facing slope, so you can enjoy powder snow in the afternoon as well. As this is a very popular course, it is bound to be packed with skiers on powdery mornings after snowfall

・Right side of Lerch Course

According to the staff at Seki Onsen, "If you want to enjoy powder snow at a leisurely pace like a gentleman, we recommend the right side of the Lerch Course."
