compacted snow burn

The pressurized snow burns at Abei are polished with time and skill. Many people say they can ski comfortably for a long time without stress from the snow surface and feel as if they have become one rank better!　The freshness of the first morning on the pressurized snow burn is exceptional!.

non-paved course

The location is blessed with excellent snowfall that is as good as that of Hokkaido. Enjoy the snow as much as you can on the non-snow courses. When it is not snowing, the 2nd Sailer Course A is a hard bump slope. Recommended for those who are confident on bumps.

mogul lane

The slope is relatively easy to run out of the course, so first-timers to the bumps should try here.
(Mid-January to maximum May 6)

tree-run zone

A portion of the woods on Nishimori and Zailer slopes will be opened as a tree run zone. Entry is by completing the entry form and entering through the designated gate. Enjoy the premium powder of Abi to the fullest!
