The slope preparation is very good.
Tip: By new snow, an optimal slope prepartion is not always possible, even with a large effort. In addition, the new snow can not combine with the snow lying underneath and moguls are created quickly. For safety reasons, usually no slope preparation is possible during operating times.

Detailed description of the ski resort
Direct from the town of Yuzawa Echigo the cable car Yuzawa Kogen Ropeway with cabins for 166 people travels up to the Yuzawa Kogen ski resort. From the top station you can swing either to the double chair or to the longer high speed triple chair. The runs are easy to intermediate. Up to the 1170m high peak is another double chair. Below the double chair lift is the only black run in the resort. A long flat way leads also down from the peak. There is another cable car from Yuzawa Kogen to Gala, but the connection is closed and the only way to get from Yuzawa Kogen to Gala is the shuttle bus. Very recommendable is the valley run with a length of approx. 2 km, marked as a groomed ski route, some parts are flat and some parts are steeper, down to the cable car station. In the valley, near the cable car station, is the area of Nunoba where 3 double chairs open up very easy terrain for the beginners. This is a nice ski resort in Yuzawa and thanks to the easy runs and double chairs in the valley area very recommendable for families. The only bar for apres ski is in Yuzawa, called Bottle Bar, where you can meet an international audience.
