Yuzawa Nakazato Snow Resort | Weather forecast, live camera, lift ticket purchase, course map

A place for hardcore tree and powder lovers

About 10 minutes from Yuzawa IC, JR Echigo Nakazato Station and the ski center are directly connected, making it easy to access by train. Starting with the unique Blue Train rest area that uses an actual train, there are plenty of rest areas where you can take off your boots and relax.

At first glance, the slopes seem to be mainly for families with spacious, gentle slopes, but that's not all. From the 2020-21 season, the tree runs and powder spots that impress core freeskiers have been opened. The density of the trees is varied and the rhythm changes are fun. The new Yuzawa Nakazato has become a secret wonderland for advanced players.

"FWT ZONE" where you can enjoy wood rails and jumping in the powder tree run area is now available!

Yuzawa Nakazato Snow Resort is also a competition venue for the "FWT (Freeride World Tour)", where people decide their own line and skate to see how cool and original they are. The FWT course will be open to the public this season. Enjoy the powder tree run and feel like a competitive athlete.

“Growth Park” produced by professional snowboarder Takashi Sekiguchi is expanding its area!

Growth Park, which was renovated last season under the direction of Yuzawa native rider Takashi Sekiguchi, will further expand its area this season. "New discoveries within yourself" are born by trying and skating with "imagination" and "feeling." Why not try this terrain park that will make you think about the importance of nature while enjoying it?

Maximum slope: 32 degrees Average: 25 degrees / Distance: 370m / Slope direction: West

The snow is not compacted, so you can enjoy some lucky powder riding the morning after it snows. A great location right in front of Nakazato Ski Center, which attracts a lot of attention. It is gaining even more attention as part of the FWT ZONE, where the slopes and forests are maintained over three seasons, and where you can also try wood rails and powder jumps.

Maximum slope: 32 degrees Average: 22 degrees / Distance: 580m / Slope orientation: Southwest

The Giant Course can be reached by simply taking the second lift from the slope base. This is also uncompacted snow, so you'll want to aim for it right after it snows. It's exhilarating to slide down the wide, straight, open barn all at once.

Maximum slope: 32 degrees Average: 17 degrees / Distance: 600m / Slope direction: Southwest to West

The dynamic course has a layout that wraps around to the right. This course is popular because the slope faces west, so it spends a lot of time in the shade, and the snow quality is easily maintained. I want to attack while enjoying the slope changes like in the video.

Facing slopes: Northwest
This is Yuzawa Nakazato's new specialty, a large tree run area. The area is open so that the mountain on the right side of the slope can be skied all the way. The trees are thinned with a moderate feeling and it is slippery. There are many types of slopes, so you can choose the line according to your preference and amount of snow.

All of the uncompacted snow courses are concentrated on the mountain to the right of the ski resort, and there are 5 courses in total. The yellow area in the aerial image is uncompacted snow. The area inside the dotted line other than the areas painted in red is the tree run area.
