[Akita, Hachimantai] Yamagemori BUNAMORI Ski Hike Tour ~Explore the powder snow beech forest~

Walking skis These short skis are 130cm long. The short skis make them easy to maneuver and explore. They also have stickers on the bottom, so you can climb slopes.

Skis on Because it is a simple binding, no special shoes are required. We recommend shoes that cover your ankles, such as snow boots or hiking boots.

Walking in the forest① After warming up by walking and climbing on the slopes, you will enter the deep snow forest, a forest that is only open during the winter season.

Walking in the forest② The silvery white forest is covered in snow, and is especially beautiful the day after a snowfall.

Winter forest scenery On sunny days, the bluish shadows of the trees stretching across the snow are beautiful.

Snow sculpture Various snow formations in the winter forest. You can draw faces on the round snow caps that form on broken trunks.

Visiting the giant trees A huge Mizunara oak tree stands in the middle of the forest. With plenty of snow piled up at its base, it is the master of this forest.

Ski run① If you find a downhill slope, try skiing down it. The feeling of floating and exhilaration as you ski down the soft snow surface, kicking up powder snow, is exceptional.

Ski run② You can glide along the slopes while enjoying the forest scenery.

Ski run ③ The soft snow surface means you won't get hurt if you fall. It's different from skiing on the slopes, and it can be difficult to maintain your balance. Once you get used to it, try a slightly steeper slope.
