Miyabi Onitsuka and Hoshino Resorts conclude an affiliation contract.
In the future, we will support in a world-class environment at Alts Bandai and Nekoma Ski Resort.
We will continue to hone the original skills of new sponsors in order to reach even higher levels.
Hoshino Resorts (Location: Karuizawa Town, Nagano Prefecture, Representative: Yoshiharu Hoshino) has decided to conclude an affiliation contract with professional snowboarder Miyabi Onitsuka (hereinafter referred to as Onitsuka).The contract period is planned to be two years, and during the period, world-class private jump stands and custom-made items will be installed at the "Alts Bandai" and "Nekoma Ski Resort" operated by our company to support the practice environment. I will come.
Hoshino Resorts started operating ski resorts in 2003, and currently operates the largest ski resorts in Tohoku, the Alts Bandai and Nekoma Ski Resorts, and Tomamu in Hokkaido.Alts Bandai proposed freestyle enjoyment from early on, and held snowboarding competitions "Japan Open" and "Asia Open" from 2005 to 2009.It has become a popular ski resort for many snowboarders and is now visited by many freestyle skiers.Alts Bandai and Nekoma Ski Resort continue to evolve every year with the aim of becoming Japan's No. 1 park that can be enjoyed by a wide range of people from beginners to advanced skiers.
This time, I sympathized with the desire to focus on promoting snowboarding while taking on the challenge on the world stage, triggered by the connection that Onizuka used as a practice base at Alts Bandai and Nekoma Ski Resort from an early age. Therefore, it was decided to make a contract.
Hoshino Resorts will continue to support Onizuka and continue to develop regional promotion and contribution activities through sports.

My starting point was to participate in a snowboard camp for kids at Alts Bandai when I was 5 years old.At the world tournament held in Alts Bandai, while watching the slip of the top players up close, I decided that I would like to become a player who will also appear in the world tournament someday, and while traveling from Kumamoto for a long time, Alts Bandai and Nekoma Practicing at the ski resort is also my food.As an affiliated player, I would like to continue to take snowboarding seriously and convey the fun of snowboarding to children.Please provide some support.
