Aizu 2 Hosted Experience
We’re venturing deeper into Japan with our home base at Nekoma, with access to not just 1, but 2 home bases with endless tree runs, a freestyle park and mellow cruise-y runs, as well as day trips to Inawashiro and Gran Deco ski resorts! Whether you’re coming solo or with friends, we welcome riders of all levels. Our crew will split into smaller groups by skill level, so you’ll always have people to ride with — and push your limits. Our hosts will be with you throughout the week, sorting out your trip logistics, give you riding tips and showing you our favorite powder runs.

Highlights
DEEP SNOW MEETS DEEP CULTURE IN AIZU
From carving fresh lines at the Nekoma Mountain, to lapping freestyle parks packed with kickers and rails, Aizu delivers the goods — this is where deep snow meets deep culture.
Check-in & get ready

Ride with our hosts
Get ready to explore up to 3 different ski resorts this week in our new favorite area — Aizu. The group will be split up into skill levels of a 1:6 ratio, and tagged to a host to show you around the mountains with runs that are suitable for your group’s skill level.
Morning Mountain Orientation
After enjoying your breakfast, we will set out to the ski resort for the day. Ride out with your hosts in small groups by skill level. Your hosts will guide you to the best lines for your ability, show you how to get around the slopes safely — and help you level up throughout the week.
Afternoon Free & Easy
Grab lunch, continue riding with new friends, go back to our favorite runs or start apres-ski early — it’s up to you! Gather at 4PM for the drive back to the hotel
Evening
Get warm and unwind at the onsen before grabbing dinner at the buffet hall at your own time. After dinner, join the group after that for a nightcap session at the games room!
Each evening, our team of hosts will check the latest snow and weather conditions to pick the best resort for the next day, and give you tips on how to layer up properly!
Check out
Just like that, it’s Saturday again and you’ll be off to your next adventure, on or off the board – but this is not goodbye, it’s see you again!

Accomodation
Spacious lakeside resort
Your home for the week is a spacious lakeside resort, just a 15-minute drive from the Nekoma ski lifts. With daily buffet breakfast and dinner included, you can fuel up before first lifts and feast after a big day on the mountain without lifting a finger to plan it. When the boots come off, the resort really comes alive. Sink into the indoor or open-air onsen, sweat it out in the sauna, then regroup with the crew over a drink at the cocktail bar. There’s a whole lineup to keep the good times rolling — pool, table tennis, VR golf, and a KTV room for when the night demands a sing-along. Soak, play, refuel, repeat — this is après done the Japanese way.
You’ve asked for more ways to explore the mountains and this season, we’re making it happen. With a 7d6n itinerary starting this season, this means you can travel *between* our destinations and take in the sights of Japan without worrying about rushing on your holiday! From camps that open up progression across more levels – think carving, tree riding, even backcountry – to exploration experiences and expeditions designed to take you deeper into the mountains – you can experience it all, or as much as possible.
More ways to ride, more ways to progress – if this sounds like your kind of season, you’ll want in early.
Early Bird Sale begins 1 July, 4pm.
First Dibs go live on 30 June!
Alts Bandai
Combined with the North Area, the Nekoma mountain area boasts 33 runs across 3 peaks. The South Area (formerly known as Alts Bandai) is connected to the hotel, with a cat-skiing and in-resort heli ski zone, a terrain park, as well as a 2.5 km groomed slope with majestic views of Lake Inawashiro. Night skiing is also available here.
Nekoma
Connected to the South Area via a chairlift, or walking trial at the top of the mountain, the North Area is where we go for deep powder runs and steep tree sections. With a terrain park to suit all riding levels, here’s where you level up without the pressure. When the storm’s coming in, the top lift is closed for days to accumulate pow – and we get first ride service to enjoy all that!
Inawashiro
The resort that made us fall in love with the Aizu mountain area. With a total of 10 chairlifts, 33 runs, and plenty of ungroomed areas and steep tree runs – everyone is spoilt for choice here. Inawashiro is split into 3 areas – Sky, Base and Minero with a good mix of beginner, intermediate and advanced slopes in each.
Gran Deco
A great resort for those learning how to ski or snowboard! Mellow terrain with no crowds make learning and practicing at Gran Deco a breeze without the pressure of avoiding others. Gran Deco also has an easy snow-surf park with easy rollers and small banks, along with wide open runs to practice carving too.
