Tsugaike Kogen

“The -18℃ powder at Tsugaike Kogen was simply spectacular! Despite the cold that nearly froze my nose, the beauty of the place was undeniable.”

“This season, regrettably, there appears to be a lack of snow at Tsugaike Kogen.”

“During my visit to Tsugaike Kogen, I was impressed with the kindness of the patrol staff, making my time there quite memorable - truly grateful for their assistance. However, the weather conditions weren't optimal on the day I visited and the snow wasn't as compact as I would have liked. The course leading up to the park was rough and challenging to navigate. There was a bit of a mishap with my son on the slopes - he was attempting to jump three kickers in a row when someone unexpectedly crossed our path causing a bit of a fall. Despite the fall, we still managed to create some wonderful memories. I am eager to return and give it another shot.”

“Despite this year's low snowfall, I would still rate Tsugaike Kogen an 80 out of 100. The conditions were a bit harsh in the morning and experienced some drizzle later on. However, the snow quality on the upper slopes was quite impressive. I did find some areas of concern, especially the course leading from Bell Ringing Hill to Maruyama Quad, which was not well maintained. This posed some challenges for beginners who had to navigate around bushes and dirt. Another issue I encountered was with the website's ticket purchasing system. A technical error prevented me from buying a lift ticket online which resulted in me having to buy it at a higher rate. Furthermore, the website initially indicated that the ticket I was purchasing included lunch, however, I ended up having to use last year's lift ticket for an online purchase. This was quite disappointing.”
