Norikura-Kogen Onsen Skiresort finished the season last weekend though we had some snow falls this week and some of riders might think they need to ride more. Here is a great news for you.

Bus rides to Kuraigahara will start from Golden Week and there will many snowboarders and skiers to go up to backcountry. There will be snow also at the top of ski resort, Kamoshika then. This season, we will have a Spring Park at Kamoshika bottom. It will be a hike up access though we will be waiting for the riders who want to ride more.

Date: May 2nd to 6th (Sat to Wed)
Time: 10:00AM-2:00PM
Fee: Day Pass- ¥500, 5-Day Pass- ¥1500
Items: 6m kicker, box, rail, etc (It depends on the snow condition and weather)

We planned to have Norikura Hot Dog Jam last weekend but because of bad weather it was postponed to this weekend. We had an awesome jam with snowboarders and skiers from 12 years old to 34 years old. Of course we served hot dogs and it was literally a Hot Dog Jam. Everybody rode, eat and enjoyed the session. Thank you so much for those who joined the jam and those who came to the park to it rip up. Let’s pump it up more next season!

On Thursday here in Norikura at the snow park on the mountain, our park crew working alongside the mountain crew have continued construction of a nice kicker. We have been working to clean it up a bit and create a gap for some nice air time. When we’re finished, it should look pretty nice. Hope to see you around up mountain hitting the park. Enjoy yourself and have a safe ride.
