The courses range in length from 350 meters to 1300 meters in length.... while not particularly long, they are well arranged and provide a varied skiing experience.  The layout of the area make it easy to navigate and meet up with your friends in one of the two main meeting spots.

A Intermediate 340 meters 13° 16°
 

A fun course behind the hotel that is suitable for upper beginners and above.  Good for practicing technique.  Serviced by a 3-person lift, the run goes under the lift.

 
B Beginner 400 meters 10° 14°
 

Beginners should turn left off the 3-person lift and use the B course which has a gentler slope and smooth packed snow.

   
C Expert 480 meters 21° 30°
 

Take the Number 2 Pair Lift to access this Expert course.  It's fairly narrow and there's usually lots of moguls - so care is needed!  Fantastic views of Yuzawa and beyond from the top.

  
D Expert 750 meters 16° 38°
 

Another quite difficult run coming down from the top of Number 3 lift.  Watch out for those large moguls!

  
E Intermediate 800 meters 15° 30°
 

An easier to alternative to Course D running down to merge with Course F at the bottom.  Moguls can appear on this course but it's an easier run than Course D.

  
F Beginner 910 meters 16°
 

Course F is a gentle slope suitable for beginners, children and families.  Serviced by a pair lift and also linking up the two main areas of the resort.

  
G Intermediate 580 meters 14° 27°
  A popular run down from the top of the quad lift - suitable for intermediates and above.  Lots of space - nice and wide - and a varied mix of gradients.  The Badge Test course is held on the right hand side of this run.
  
H Beginner 1,290 meters 20°
 

This is a "long cruising" run down from the top of Number 3 and Number 5 lifts.  Suitable for beginners.  Look out for the mini-jump course as well on the way down!
