[Joetsu/Myoko area] Charmant Hiuchi (Niigata Prefecture)

65% of the ski resort is ungroomed, making it a powder paradise!
Book online with discounts of up to 10,000 yen!

This entire area is famous for its heavy snowfall, but during peak season, the snow depth consistently exceeds 500 cm, making it truly extraordinary. The ski resort has also created an environment that allows them to offer this abundant snow in the best possible way. The keywords of the ski resort are "un-groomed" and "nature as it is." They continue to make efforts to avoid grooming, and more than 65% of the area and courses are set as ungroomed.

It's hard to tell whether it's a groomed course or sidecountry, as there are free-riding zones with rich terrain everywhere. While it captivates seasoned freeriders, it's surprisingly uncrowded and remains a hidden gem, with a very high chance of finding powder. Considering the environment, a season pass is well worth it. Online purchase has been available since last season, making it even more convenient.
