Have you ever slipped outside in June?
I think most people will answer “NO” to this question.Well, some people may like to climb high altitude mountains ...However, I think I have never had the opportunity to slide outside the park in June.This time, a special park appeared at the closed Kagura Ski Resort and an event was held for a limited two days, June 6-6.

During the normal season, you will arrive at Kagura Ski Resort by connecting lifts and gondola from the ropeway, but at this time when the slopes are already closed, you can move to Kagura Ski Resort where this special park is located. There is already a special feeling from the start.It's really exciting to drive up the slopes that you're used to slipping on.
When I arrived at the slope with the special park, snow appeared.Surrounded by greenery, white snow and items such as jib jump in front of you.The snowboard junkies who gathered at this time changed their clothes early and headed for the snow quickly.
Participants hike all at once with the signal of the opening ceremony!Everyone enjoys immersing themselves in the park while slipping on the item they are looking for and watching the slips of other participants while hiking.
In the afternoon, a game will be held with a box and rail to decide the theme of the technique!It's a simple game where you only challenge the theme that was given, so it's a big excitement.
What was the reason for holding this event in the first place?
We talked to Yudai Miyauchi, the organizer, “Moge”.
By the way, this event was held not only for snowboarding but also for snow skating sessions.
Eiko Matsui, who held a snow skating event at Kagura Ski Resort during the season and organized the snow skating department at this event, talks about the event.
Then, on the night of the first day, a night session was held, and even the participants and riders were seriously playing down in a different atmosphere.Needless to say, it was a hot night.
On the second day, the best trick jam session from the free session will be held.Participants pushed each other out with their own special skills and new mastered skills at this event.After making the trick, everyone enjoyed "YEAH!" And even if they failed, "laughter" in a calm atmosphere from beginning to end.
Even though it is a big event just to be able to slide outside in June, there is a lot of content throughout these two days such as lessons, mini contests, night sessions and lottery.All the participants who finished the last season with the best event were full of fulfillment.
