Mountain Information is a place where various mountain information is available.


Mountain Information works with patrol to help inform visitors about the mountain conditions every day of the season.
In addition, various guided tours and snowmobile activities are available to help you make the most of your experience at Geto Kogen.

A specialist and knowledgeable team of skiers and snowboarders who ride at Geto Kogen daily are in charge of all tours and activities.
The enormous amount of snowfall that Geto Kogen receives in the peak winter season is almost beyond imagination. The best slope choices are constantly changing with snow and wind conditions.
If you want to make the most of such heavy snowfall conditions, we highly recommend participating in a guided tour!

TREERUN AREA

The Tree Run Areas are thrilling spaces where natural trees and obstacles remain. It is a fun challenge and satisfying to avoid the obstacles. But, of course, failure to avoid obstacles can easily lead to accidents, so these areas are only for skilled advanced skiers and snowboarders who can handle any snow conditions.

The sense of accomplishment and exhilarating feelings you get by clearing these natural areas is hard to replicate on normal groomed (and carefully prepared) ski courses.



Grow up treerun

Those who want to challenge various tree run areas can also choose their level and challenge themselves as they please.
If you are a beginner, please start with Level 1. Afterwards, you can advance to each level without pushing yourself too far.
For those unsure about it for the first time, we recommend the ‘Heavy Snow Tree Run Area Guide’.
