Behind story
A walk as a freestyle sanctuary
It was about 15 years ago that Takasu Snow Park began its path as a freestyle sanctuary.Former professional snowboarder Keiichiro Tomoda began to work on the creation of halfpipes, and as the shape of the pipes became more beautiful, the number of local riders began to increase.At that time, the heyday of pipes.Introducing the Super Dragon when the wall height of the regular pipe was 3.5m, this pipe with a wall height of nearly 5m became a super pipe run, so that top class riders can also practice. became.Then, freestyle culture was born in the Gifu area, where professional competitions and big competitions had not been held until then.
Around this time, Mr. Yamashita and Mr. Okamura, who was skating on the Takasu support rider, shared the fun on the snow, such as becoming the same team at the grass tournament.
After that, Mr. Yamashita (currently Deputy Manager of Takasu Snow Park) struggled as a young snow-packed member of Takasu Snow Park, and was absorbed in studying heavy machinery for about four years without having time to slip.At the same time, Mr. Okamura (currently Pioneer Moss' sales development) who grew up in Takasu SP as a producer of the half pipe area and was active as a professional rider will be undertaken.
With a sense of responsibility and dreams for each other, and with the desire to "make the best half-pipe in the world," we spared no time to sleep and cooperated and devoted ourselves to creating the site.
Now, ten years later, the experience and mutual hardships at that time will lead to the creation of the current site.
In order to create a better slope and site, you will experience the fact that it will be possible only with the cooperation of the office, patrol team, snow compaction team, snowfall team, and all slope staff.
Reasons to continue aiming for the peak of freestyle
When the popularity of Takasu Park became established, we started to make Monster Banks.I aimed for a park with an R that is friendly and hard to get injured, and you can enjoy free riding with your friends.This is because I felt that there was a need for content that would allow you to enjoy sliding even on pipes other than those that require a certain level of skill.Mr. Yamashita himself went to Happo Banks, which can be said to be the pioneer of the freestyle park, and based on the information obtained from it, he made full use of machines such as pipe monsters and Zerg to suit Takasu Snow Park. Created a park.
This is why Takasu is aiming for the peak of freestyle.This is because we believe that not only the current situation but also reading the trends of the times and proposing new ones will lead to the satisfaction of visitors.
When creating a park, what Mr. Yamashita values is to respect the opinions of the people in the field.On-site technology and experience are indispensable in order to capture and create various information such as how the snow falls on the slopes.Furthermore, it is essential to enhance the artificial snowmaking machine for the operation of ski resorts in this area.A new snowmaking machine was introduced this term as well, allowing early traffic to and from Dynaland, which connects to the summit, and has been improved to allow longer skiing.It is very important to secure the amount of snow with an artificial snowmaking machine in order to always control the condition of the ski resort to the best.
On the other hand, Mr. Okamura worked as a half-pipe producer at Takasu Snow Park, then worked as a producer at Yukibancho Park in Oze Tokura at AREA51s, and then got a job at the current Pioneer Moss.Even if you change your position from a ski resort to a manufacturer, you still have the same desire to entertain snowboarders.As I continued to think about how the snowboarding scene was booming and what users were looking for, I met Mr. Yamashita again and started a collaboration project.
The two people who once made the half pipe together had the same desire to "entertain the snowboarders" from their respective standing positions as ski resort staff and manufacturers, and MOSS x Takasu stood up to realize that. It is the true identity of Snow Park & Dynaland.It is not a financial connection, but a pure desire to create a place where snowboarders can enjoy themselves.
A cooperative system is beginning to be taken not only in making slopes but also in disseminating information.Takasu Snow Park maintains a high quality slope even in an environment where the weather and other conditions are different every day.MOSS riders are posting their SNS to naturally deliver that information to a wide range of users.By posting their skis, we have come to be able to convey a different charm from the information sent by ski resorts.

Created beach resort
"TAKASU TERRACE"
MOSS surf & snow surf culture that colors TAKASU TERRACE
The Takawashi Terrace, which was reborn by completely renewing the rest house "Sancho Popolo" three years ago, was created with the theme of a beach resort that overturns the conventional concept of ski resorts. "In this era, if you don't do sharp things, you won't be able to attract customers," said Inamiya, the central figure in the project, who carried out a bold renovation that left almost no prototype.Collaboration is realized by matching the image of MOSS, which originally started from surf, with the theme of Beach.
The photo spot in the store displays MOSS SNOWSTICK boards and MOSS surfboards, and the walls are decorated with paintings by Artis, who is in charge of MOSS graphic arts.In addition, a collaboration menu will be available this season. The <SURF Sandwich> branded with the SNOWSTICK mark has also been released, and the wrapping is unified so that you can feel the image of MOSS surf and snow surf.
And this season, Takasu Terrace will become an iconic spot that symbolizes Takasu Snow Park, and snowboarders and skiers who visit here will send out information one after another on their own SNS.It continues to evolve into a spot that attracts more people's attention every day.
