Rusutsu Resort is scheduled to open on Friday, December 4th | HEAD team's video from last year's visit has been dropped

2020/10/27

The HEAD FREESKIING team, who visited Rusutsu last year, have released a video on the theme of "forest bathing." First, please enjoy the incredibly refreshing video of JAPOW x tree running!

Nothing is more valuable to our souls than spending time in a living forest. The Japanese call it "forest bathing"—immersion in the forest. There are more ways to indulge in this pastime than there are trees in the forest. -Sam Kuch & Baker Boyd-

Sam Kuch and Baker Boyd, who appear in the video, seem to have enjoyed Rusutsu on HEAD's freeride model "KORE," a model that combines lightness, strength, buoyancy, and maneuverability

Rusutsu's popular, ungroomed Heavenly Canyon course

Rusutsu is known for its size, snow quality, and varied terrain. It consists of three mountains: West Mt., East Mt., and Mt. Isola, with 37 courses totaling a total of 42km!

This area offers more than enough space for powder skiing. The Heavenly Course, located behind Mt. Isola, is a particularly good choice. This easy-to-ski southeast-facing course, with an average slope of 20-25 degrees, features a ravine-like shape, making it fun even for non-experts to ride along the wall. It's a place to ski through the trees and enjoy the abundant natural features and undulations.

*Note: Some gondolas and lifts are scheduled to be closed during the 2020-21 season. Please check the website for details.
