Snow Cruise Onze



We are slowly but surely going down the list of popular Hokkaido ski resorts and visiting them. This weekend we decided to take a quick trip to a nearby ski resort called snow cruise onze. It's located in Zenibako which is a little town on the Sea of Japan coast.
It was pretty nice! The mountain is very small- only has 2 lifts and maybe 7 courses and a halfpipe and a small terrain park. The snow was a little wet because we had a bit of a warm weekend but it was soft and felt great under-ski. But maybe the nicest part was the unique view that Onze had to offer: the ocean for as far as the eye can see!

It was cloudy on Sunday so the view wasn't optimal but it was still awesome to behold. We got flurries in the late afternoon which added to the beauty of the mountain.
As for the skiing, it's a pretty easy mountain. The only challenging run was the mogul-y one but this one was very short. In fact all of the runs were pretty short. Great place to learn or practice though. I'd say 90% of the people on the mountain were learning to ski or snowboard.
I took very few pictures but here's an album anyway:
