Making slopestyle accessible to everyone
Tomamu Slopestyle Park was created by Hoshino Resorts Tomamu with the desire to "allow as many skiers and snowboarders as possible, from beginners to advanced skiers, to experience and enjoy slopestyle." The equipment has been carefully constructed and set up so that even first-timers can enjoy slopestyle safely, and diggers carefully maintain it every day using heavy machinery and manual labor. What's more, dedicated staff will even provide one-point lessons to first-time slopestylers to ensure they can enjoy it safely, providing the ultimate in support
Tomamu Slopestyle Park: Three Power-Up Points
Hoshino Resorts Tomamu has previously operated a big park with three lanes for beginner, intermediate, and advanced skill levels, boasting the largest number of items in Hokkaido, but this March it will undergo a major upgrade. How will it evolve? Let's take a closer look
1. 900 meters long! Tomamu Slopestyle Park expands in size and number of items
The total number of items at Tomamu Slopestyle Park will increase from 20 to 32. The number of kickers and wave items has increased, and the total length has expanded from 360 meters to 900 meters. A maximum of 14 items can be attempted in one run, making even a single run a fulfilling experience. In addition to beginner, intermediate, and advanced lanes, there will also be an ultra-advanced lane where you can take on extra-large kickers and other challenging items. Here are the details:
| Beginner's Lane | This lane is recommended for beginners and allows you to enjoy it safely. Banks have been added, allowing you to experience the fun of slopestyle beyond just "flying." |
| Intermediate lane | This lane is perfect for stepping up to advanced skiing. It features kickers and boxes sized just right for practice. The three consecutive kickers have been upgraded to six consecutive kickers, allowing you to try a variety of tricks in one run. |
| Advanced Lane | The facility will offer even higher quality equipment to help riders step up to the top level, with kickers ranging from 9 to 11 meters and several types of boxes and rails |
| Super Advanced Lane | For a limited time, the resort will feature the largest kicker and other challenging items |
