Seki Onsen
Seki Onsen distinguishes itself as one of Japan's most snow-blessed small resorts, recording extraordinary snowfall totals that often exceed 15 meters annually. The resort's intimate scale - just two lifts - belies its exceptional powder skiing opportunities. The uncrowded slopes and minimal grooming policy create perfect conditions for deep powder skiing, while natural terrain features create playful options across the entire mountain face. Each snowfall transforms the mountain into an untouched powder playground.
Two carefully positioned lifts provide access to Seki's legendary powder terrain. This simplified system eliminates the need for complex navigation, allowing riders to focus on discovering fresh lines. The upper lift accesses a variety of natural bowls and steep sections, while the lower lift serves as both a learning area and return route. This straightforward setup maintains the resort's uncrowded atmosphere even on the deepest powder days.
