WE LIKE

  • Not a huge ski area but all the runs are interesting. Great for people who like steep powder runs.Some of the easy slopes are a little steep!
  • All the pistes are north facing so a long season is gauranteed with heavy snow often falling at the end of the season allowing skiing well into May
  • Very popular with boarders, has the best snowpark in the valley

WE DON'T LIKE

  • The cold - it can get extremely cold here so consider the time you come
  • Initial travel is not the easiest - 13 hour flights with a 3 hour Shinkansen - so a 2 week destination
  • Some off-piste areas out of bounds - you will have your lift pass taken - despite the awesome powder!

On the slopes

Offering 12 slope areas there's plenty of skiing opportunities when you ski Hakuba. Hakuba's pistes are exceptional for both skiers and boarders and it boasts some of the steepest mountains in Japan. Most slopes are intermediate or expert in nature, especially given the large runs, moguls, and steep slopes that make up the Japanese Alps. There are also a few beginner slopes to offer families with children options as well.

Two of the most popular courses are the night skiing Toomi Gelende course at 1500 meters long and the 400m mogul course where many official Japanese competitions take place. Despite its popularity the wide, long slopes are usually not overcrowded which is also partially due to the fact that the Hakuba ski resort season starts in late autumn and extends through a long portion of the spring given the climate.
