Before the lifts opens. Before the world wakes up.
Step outside into untouched Nozawa powder—First Tracks, limited to 100 spots.
Ride Yamabiko D & E with friends, family, your partner, or solo.
Just you, fresh air, and the lines you’ll remember.
The event concludes at 8:30 with the bib return at Nagasaka Gondola – Summit Station. Therefore, you can ski down from the summit area earlier than guests waiting in line at the gondola base station.
A portion of the participation fee supports the Nozawa Onsen Ski Club’s athlete development program.
