Experience powder landing in a limited area
"OFF THE PISTE" scheduled to open in early January

Kawaba Ski Resort is a famous peak in Gunma prefecture, and is surrounded by Mt. Hotaka at an altitude of 2,158m.It is also attractive that it is a great access, about 2 hours from the metropolitan area.The slopes are located at high altitudes of 1,230m to 1,870m, so it is covered with high-quality snow that you can't imagine in the Kanto region.There are 10 courses that take advantage of the abundant terrain peculiar to Kawaba, and a wide range of snowboarders from entry users to core users can enjoy each style.

This season, with the concept of "ENJOY THE RIDE", we will develop four contents that you can enjoy the real pleasure of free riding.In particular, the new attraction course "OFF THE PISTE", which is scheduled to open in early January and allows you to enjoy off-piste in a designated area, will attract attention.In the area limited to those who have taken the course, you can fully enjoy the powder ride that you can not experience on the snow-packed course.In addition, we will develop a new service such as "THE SURF RIDE PARK" that slides on 4D terrain utilizing artificial terrain scheduled to open for a limited time from the middle of March, and a service that allows you to rent special gear specializing in powder and freeride.Check the edit page of the same issue for details.

Of course, we also boast a snow park that has a good reputation among freestylers.Attention will also be focused on "JACKY'S EASY PARK", which is ideal for those who want to work hard in the park, and "MURASAKI FREE RIDE PARK", which will be produced by Masahisa Hayashi "Magn" from Marasaki Sports.Furthermore, at "FLUX PARK" where full-scale items that are satisfying for intermediate and advanced players are lined up, the brand's team riders will change members every month from January to March to produce the park.Parks with three different themes will be developed this season as well, so be sure to give it a try.
