The latest eco-friendly snow-making machine ensures stable skiing regardless of snow shortages or weather conditions

The ever-evolving Tsugaike Mountain Resort has added 11 state-of-the-art "TITAN 4.0" snow machines to the 13 introduced last season, which were well-received for their "stable skiing even in light snowfall periods."
This will create a 4,000m long, continuous artificial snow route called "Loop 4000," stretching from the summit of Tsuganomori slope to the "Eve" gondola lift's Shirakaba station. This circular, long-running course will allow you to enjoy stable skiing from early winter to early spring.

The new snow machine, "TITAN 4.0," combines high snowmaking performance with energy efficiency, thanks to the technological capabilities DEMACLENKO has cultivated over many years. It can efficiently make snow with little electricity and water, and can consistently produce high-quality snow even in high-temperature environments

In addition to the introduction of the snowmaking machines, the area will promote the creation of a sustainable tourist destination that emphasizes coexistence with natural resources through facility renovations and energy-saving investments, such as converting facility lighting to LED
