INDEX

Tengendai Kogen (Yamagata Prefecture) is such a ski resort

Ski slopes in the sky where Honshu's finest powder piles up

The top of Tengendai Kogen is over 1,800 meters above sea level, and because it slopes northward, it boasts a snow quality that is said to be "Honshu's finest powder" and a spectacular amount of accumulated snow. We are also proud of the long season that lasts for six months from early December to May GW every year.

From the parking lot at the foot of the mountain, take the ropeway and approach the plateau with an altitude difference of 1,350m. The ski resort spreads beyond it, just like the "slope in the sky". Another attraction of Tengendai is the beautiful scenery where you can see frost-covered trees.

The vertically long layout has a variety of slope configurations, and the uncompacted powder zone is also open. During the high season, you can enjoy a super long run of 6km. Furthermore, there is also an environment where you can go out to the backcountry from the slopes.

Shirabu Onsen and Shin-Takayu Onsen are located at the base, and skiing and snowboarding at the hot spring inn base are also good.

'23-24 season topics

A wide variety of events will be held this winter as well.

Tengendai Ski Resort usually provides a wide variety of guest services during the season, but there are also plenty of events that will make you want to visit during the 2023-24 season. There are also packages that offer discounts on lift tickets, such as ``Ski Children's Day,'' ``Parent-Child Ski Pack,'' ``Weekday Limited Plan,'' and ``Albu Tengendai Unlimited Ride Accommodation Plan,'' as well as a menu of activities.

Tengendai Kogen recommended course

・Tsugamori East Wall

Maximum slope: 32 degrees Average: 12 degrees / Distance: 500m / Slope orientation: North

You can taste the finest smooth powder that can only be found at an altitude of 1,820m. A tree run course in which a large virgin forest such as Japanese hemlock and Rhododendron japonicum spreads out, and you slide through the toothbrush rime. There is a powder zone at the top where the snow is not compacted, and a large panorama of Iide, Asahi, Gassan, Chokai, Zao and Yamagata's famous peaks spreads out below.

・Shirakaba powder zone

Maximum slope: 21 degrees Average: 14 degrees / Distance: 600m / Slope orientation: North

An uncompacted snow line that extends to the left side of the slope. With undulating slopes, moderately steep slopes, and wide widths, long run powder feels great. On weekdays, even though the area is crowded with student ski classes, there are few people on the non-compacted snow line, and on weekdays after a snowfall, powder may remain until the afternoon.

・Rhododendron powder zone

Maximum slope: 28 degrees Average: 13 degrees / Distance: 850m / Slope orientation: North

A non-compacted snow area next to the main barn of Tengendai and the Shakunage slope. You can enjoy a powder run among trees with slippery spacing. The slope is gentle, but I want to successfully capture the undulating slope.
