Iwate Prefecture's Geto Kogen Ski Resort is always mentioned when you hear about heavy snow slopes.When there is a lot of snow, the abundant snow that boasts one of the best snowfalls in Japan, high-quality powder snow, and a course with a total gliding distance of 5m that is sufficiently slippery are gaining popularity from domestic and foreign snow sports enthusiasts.Furthermore, the tree run area has been enhanced to accommodate a wide range of levels from beginners to advanced users.Let's introduce the charm of the Geto Kogen Ski Resort, which is the focus of this season, along with an interview with the Geto Guide Team, Mr. Sasaki.
Not limited to advanced users,
I want to tell you that there are various levels of tree runs
-Ask Mr. Sasaki, the summer oil guide team
Geto Kogen Ski Resort's new tree run conce
What is Puto?
From this year, we will renew the concept of tree run and advocate "glow up tree run".Until now, it was recognized that Tree Run is a place for advanced players (the notation on the course map of Geto Kogen in the past is super advanced), but since there are various levels of Geto Kogen Tree Run course, they are I have an idea that I want to organize and launch.The number of tree run releases is increasing on every slope these days, but I think it is necessary to clearly convey "what kind of tree run is there" from now on.
What is the tree run area expanded this season?
I wanted to increase the number of entry users for Tree Run, so I have been developing new areas along with the location of Tree Run that I had released from the past.This is because many of the customers who come to Natsuyu have no experience with tree runs.There is a strong desire for such people to like Tree Run even more, and this season we are expanding the area where you can easily experience it.Specific examples are "Heart", which spreads out in front of you after getting off the gondola, and "Garden", which is located between the A1 and A2 courses.Patrols are easy to rush here even if something happens, and the distance between the trees is wide, so you can experience a tree run with confidence.Also, in the future, we are planning to convey the tree run gliding technique from a different angle from the school so that you can enjoy it.
Zubari, what is the most recommended tree run area?
We will release a tree run area called "Alta" next to the 1st pair lift this year.As a result, it has become easier to return to the course with more exits for the most popular and difficult "Shooter" that was entered from the A1 course. Shooter has a lot of swamps and some swamps needed a hike up, although it was a really short distance to back up to the course.By opening Alta, it will be possible to join the backup route from Alta and make a comfortable lap.
What is the unique service of summer oil that you can enjoy powder?
This year as well as last year, we will open a demo center for gentemstick.Whether you are a regular rider or not, I would like you to enjoy the heavy snowfall of summer oil on the gentemstick board.As a result of examining the most compatible setup based on the feedback from each staff including myself, Salomon is the choice for the binding to be set up on gentemstick.In principle, it is a rule to wear a helmet in the tree run area, and Oakley's latest helmet is rented as a demo rental to those who have forgotten the helmet.
What is the recommended way to enjoy summer oil as a whole?
After all, the strength of summer oil is that you can wrap it using a gondola.The amount of snow during the season is uneven and the environment is harsh, so the gondola is still helpful.It's all about making full use of the gondola and enjoying heavy snowfall and a wide variety of tree runs.Moreover, since this gondola is also open for night games, the gliding distance and scale during night games is one of the best in Japan.You should be able to experience the best snow quality of the night game in the snow, which is not only the first run in the morning but also the temperature drop. The wall on the right side of the A1 course was also maintained during the summer, so I would like you to enjoy terrain riding using regular walls that seem to last forever.
my favourite
Shooter's slope and terrain are the number one favorite in summer oil

The A1 course, which is the longest course, has many walls and sections where you can fly, and the terrain is interesting, so it is better to use a gondola to run at high speed. After warming up on the A1 course, Shooter is definitely recommended.The slope is steep and the terrain is abundant, so I think it is the number one course in summer oil.Since summer oil is heavy snowfall, it is necessary to be prepared to walk a little at the bottom of the course and the flat part immediately after getting off the gondola, but immediately after the snowfall, it is easy to fill up in the tree run course, so you can enjoy it even on the course.
VOLCOM Store It's a little difficult to slip before going to work because of the distance from Sendai, but it's the best place to slip on a day trip, such as on a day off.I don't think I should be careful about corona this year, but snowboarding is an outdoor sport.That is why I think the risk of infection is low.Therefore, I would like to make time to skate with summer oil with the customers who come to the store as much as possible.
How to stay
To aim for the next morning
Would you like to stay at an accommodation in the ski center?
Would you like to stay in Kitakami, where you can enjoy the nights of Tohoku?
Abundant tree run course and one of the best night game courses in Japan.If you want to enjoy the real summer oil, it is recommended to enjoy it by staying overnight.There are accommodations with cheap skier beds in the ski center, so you can stay in front of the ski area for the first track the next morning.Moreover, since the condominium type "Premium Stay Australia" opened last year, it is perfect for the needs of staying richly with friends.If you soak in the open-air bath "Rabbit Mori no Yu" with a feeling of openness, you can slowly heal without leaving the tiredness of powder riding the next day.On the other hand, there are many affiliated hotels, mainly business hotels, in Kitakami City, which is the base town, so if you want to thoroughly enjoy the delicious sake and food of Tohoku at night, CityStay is also recommended.If you purchase a package with a lift ticket using the Go To Travel Campaign, you can stay and slide at a great deal.In addition, the affiliated hotels are installed on the free shuttle bus route, so people who are not good at driving on snowy roads can go skiing with their cars in the city.
