Nekoma Mountain is a large resort that is popular on the southern slope of Mt. Nekoma in the Bandai Mountain area, and Nekoma Ski Resort (old model), a powder resort on the northern slope of Urabandai that boasts the highest quality snow, which has been connected by lifts. Nekoma Mountain has been reborn as a large ski resort with 33 courses and 13 lifts, and the way to enjoy the resort has also evolved significantly.
It was possible to travel between the two ski resorts by foot, but the connecting lift "Nyaruts Chair," which began operating last season, allows you to travel in a much shorter time of about six and a half minutes. It is now easier to enjoy the micro-fine snow in the north area (formerly Nekoma Ski Resort) first thing in the morning, and then enjoy the park with its wide variety in the south area (formerly Alts Bandai). Furthermore, the connection of these two ski resorts has greatly expanded the ways to enjoy them. One of these is the "Deep Cat Chair" lift in the north area. Originally, this lift was only useful when the snow was deep, but before the connection, it was in operation all the time. This season, after the connection, it is a limited lift that only operates when there is a lot of snow. Since it does not operate otherwise, you can enjoy the deepest, finest powder to your heart's content. A quad lift has also been installed to make the popular north area even more efficient. The latest artificial snow machines have been added to the south area to deal with lack of snow. In this way, the connection of the two resorts has not only increased the number of ski areas and courses, but also greatly expanded the possibilities for how to enjoy the resort. What's more, this season, helicopter riding tours will also be available.
Of course, there are still high-quality parks.The "Step Up Park", where you can improve your skills step by step, is available in both the north and south areas.Riders of all levels can enjoy the ``Flowing Park,'' where you can slide down a total length of 1,800 meters with free lines, the Global Park, which is perfect for practicing for top-class riders, and the bus with its photo-perfect graphics. satisfy.
The possibilities for how to enjoy yourself through this connection are endless. This is not limited to riding, but also applies to the way you enjoy traveling. By making it easier to travel between Omote Bandai and Urabandai, your options for accommodation will increase, and the town of Aizuwakamatsu and the hot spring resorts of Urabandai will become even closer. We hope you will visit Nekoma Mountain this season and enjoy the charms of this area.
