Mt. GASSAN Ski Resort Mecca of summer skiing  
useful information
Because of Mt. GASSAN is a heavy snow area, the remaining snow slopes open in April when other ski resorts are closed, and can enjoy skiing until the snow melts. The large slopes with a sense of openness allow fully enjoy the fun of summer skiing. It is characterized by "few trees", so It's possible to enjoy a vast view while skiing or snowboarding. In winter, there is a lot of snow and access to the ski resort is cut off, so it is a rare ski resort that cannot be used in winter, which is the main ski season. However, there is a lot of snowfall throughout the year, and the snow remains firmly from spring to summer, so in summer, many people from all over Japan gather here as a ski resort where can enjoy "summer skiing". At the end of the season, people enjoy skiing and snowboarding with short sleeves in the warm weather.
