From the lodge, it is a bit tricky to reach: a short drive with private transport or a quick hop on the train to Yanaba-ski-jo-mae station.

Yanaba is where you will find the local Hakuba pro and amateur jibbers in the evening during night skiing hours.

Yanaba is actually a good place to learn, with a long, easy slope leading down to the base station.

Intermediates will be limited here unless they come for a night session to practice their first jumps.

Unless you have come to jib, forget it!

This is a great place for jibbers, with a ridiculous number of jumps and rails. Basically, the whole resort is one big terrain park. Features include two 10-meter two-way kickers, an 8-meter stepdown, a 4-meter high hip, tons of rails and boxes in all shapes and sizes, tabletops, tables, and a halfpipe.

Nothing here!
