Mt.T by Hoshino Resorts ['25-26]

Mountain ski resort popular with core skiers

Mt.T by Hoshino Resorts (formerly Tanigawadake Tenjindaira Ski Resort) is surrounded by mountains with an altitude of 2,000 meters and stretches between the two peaks of Tenjin Pass and Mt. Takakura. It's a mountain ski resort so popular among hardcore skiers that you're prepared to fight for the fast track on weekends during the high season in January and February.

When you get off the ropeway, you will see a vast snow field. Although there are only four lifts, the undulating terrain includes many steep and formidable faces, making for plenty of sliding action. The harsh weather conditions of the mountainous region of the Tanigawa Mountain Range bring an overwhelming amount of snowfall and powder snow of the highest quality to the ski slopes.

The backcountry (BC) area extending from the main peak, Tanigawadake, is accessed through a dedicated gate at the top. Climbing registration and BC equipment are essential. Due to the steep slopes, swampy slopes, and the risk of avalanches, you need to be very careful when skiing BC.

Vector Glide's Demo Center has been upgraded!

To allow visitors to fully enjoy the finest powder snow, the "Vector Glide" Demo Center will continue to be open this season, as it was last year. Until now, the rental service has been limited to skis equipped with tech pins for use on snowy mountains, but this season, the rental service will also begin with tech pin-compatible boots. This will provide an environment where visitors can try out the latest gear and enjoy the snowy mountains more freely and easily.

Enjoy specialty gourmet food, craft beer, and an ever-evolving Apres Ski experience to enrich your stay

In addition to the famous mountain gourmet dish "Tanigawadake Bread Gratin" that can be enjoyed at the restaurant with a spectacular view, this season's efforts to enhance the apres ski experience are also noteworthy. With an increased selection of local craft beer and snacks that go well with beer, the resort is evolving into one where you can enjoy not only skiing but also your stay.

Right from the bottom of the ski area, it refers to a steep slope area that is almost at the forest limit. From Tenjin Pass, which has an altitude of 1502m, you can freely ski on a wide slope. This is probably the place to aim for powder after a snowfall. Maximum slope of 34 degrees. It is called the mountain pass front course, and the bahn is uneven. This is the main area for powder skiing. All of them are spread out, so you don't feel the slope, but the slip response is perfect. Be careful during ice burn.
