今回は、北海道幌加内町にある恵まれた良質な雪が楽しめる『ほろたちスキー場』を紹介します。ここはリフト１本のローカルスキー場。いい時に行けて新雪を思いっきり楽しめたゲレンディングとなりました。
 

his time, we’ll introduce Horotachi Ski Resort, located in Horokanai Town, Hokkaido, known for its blessed, high-quality snow. It’s a local ski area with just one lift. We were lucky to visit at the perfect time and fully enjoy the fresh powder—making it a memorable Gellending experience.

Passing through the town of Horokanai on the way to the ski resort.

The lift operates from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

Joining the trip were P.RHYTHM outerwear rider Yo Amagai and Gentemstick rider Kazushi Yamauchi.

 
まずは全面非圧雪だった”しらかばコース”を滑りました。

We started with the "Shirakaba Course," which was entirely ungroomed.

 
最初は斜度は緩めです。

It starts with a gentle slope.

 
途中から斜度が出てきました。

The slope becomes steeper partway through.

 
次は、”ほろたち＆からまつコース”へ。

Next, we headed to the Horotachi & Karamatsu Course.

 
途中からの圧雪が”からまつコース”。

The Karamatsu Course begins where the groomed section starts.

 
”からまつコース” 下部。ライダー達は次々に圧雪から新雪へ当て込む。気持ちよさそう！

The lower section of the Karamatsu Course. The Karamatsu Course begins where the groomed section starts.The riders carve smoothly from groomed snow into fresh powder, one after another—looks so satisfying!

 
同じ斜面の非圧雪部分が”ほろたちコース”。斜面が荒れてきてたので残っている新雪へ当て込み

The ungroomed section of the same slope is the "Horotachi Course." As the slope became rough, we targeted the remaining fresh snow to ride.

 
最後は”林間コース”へ。

Finally, we headed to the "Rinkan Course."

 
前半から中頃までは緩斜面でうねりも緩く。気持ち良いクルージング

The first half to the middle of the course had gentle slopes with soft undulations, offering a pleasant cruising experience.

 
後半は斜度が出てレギュラー壁が出てきました。こちらもスピードを出して遊べます。

In the second half, the slope steepens, and walls appear. The terrain allows for some fast, exciting rides.

 

 
『ほろたちスキー場』リフト１本のローカルゲレンデですが、コースもわかりやすく圧雪も新雪も楽しめるスキー場でした。ここは北海道でも雪が豊富な地域。雪が良い時に訪れたいですね。
 
機会がありましたら是非。
 

The "Horotachi skiresort" is a local resort with just one lift, but it's easy to navigate, and you can enjoy both groomed and fresh powder runs. Located in a region of Hokkaido known for its abundant snowfall, it's definitely a place to visit when the snow conditions are ideal.
