It's an interesting resort just outside of Koide in Niigata prefecture. It usually opens early in the season, closes mid-winter as keeping the access clear is too difficult, and opens again in spring. It usually has one of the best parks in the region so is a bit hit with the local freestyle community. It is an impressive drive up there, along a road that is more tunnel than anything, and the resort itself backs on to a huge lake that stretches all the way to Oze. At other times of year the pleasure cruise on the lake is the big attraction, drawing thousands who come to admire the fantastic scenery, especially in autumn.
Another resort that tries to open early is Tenjindaira on Mount Tanigawa which is just awaiting one more snowfall before opening their slopes for the winter.
