Winter season has arrived. There are many ski resorts in Iwate Prefecture, but we would like to introduce two ski resorts in 【Hachimantai Resort】.

Family-friendly "Panorama Ski Area

Panorama Ski Area," which is full of safety for children, is a recommended slope for beginners and families as it has a gentle slope with an average slope of 12 degrees. There are several long courses with a running distance of over 2 km, and the courses are wide, and you can enjoy skiing and snowboarding comfortably on the beautifully compacted slopes. The ski resort staff support children when they ride the lifts and slow down the speed of the lifts, making us feel that the ski resort is safe and secure to use. There are also quad lifts with hoods to protect against snow, wind, and cold, further increasing the level of security.
With good weather, the speed of skiing progresses faster and faster.

Hachimantai Winterland, a snow adventure kingdom

Hachimantai Winterland in Panorama Ski Area is a net-enclosed area dedicated to snow play with many exciting items. It is also safe for small children. Snow escalators are installed in the area, making it easy to move around. With the addition of more snow items, the range of snow play has expanded even further. Children and adults alike can enjoy the area. Please check the website for details.

Ultra light powder "Shimokura Ski Area

Shimokura Ski Area, cut into the eastern slope of Mt. Shimokura at an elevation of 1,177 meters, is covered with the finest powder snow called "ultralight powder," which is light and fine snow with low moisture content. What kind of snow do you imagine? Ultra light powder" probably ranks high on the list of the best snow, far exceeding your imagination. You have never tasted such fine, silky, fluffy snow, and you can feel it all over your body, even through the snow surface and the board. It is a joy to be on such a snowy surface, and your heart and board will be moving rhythmically. On a fine day, you can see the majestic Mt.
