Hakkoda & Aomori Spring · mountains

Live snow conditions, lift status, and weather for mountains and ski resorts in the Hakkoda & Aomori Spring.

• Hakkoda — Ropeway-served big-mountain riding on Mt Tamoyachi · long ungroomed descents through juhyo snow monsters, more backcountry than resort
• Aomori Spring — Quiet powder resort on Mt Iwaki's northwest slopes above Ajigasawa · a gondola and about 545 m of vertical, on its own lift tickets

Base towns

• Aomori — Prefecture capital on Mutsu Bay · the shinkansen gateway at Shin-Aomori, with the winter Hakkoda-go bus climbing to the ropeway in about an hour
• Sukayu Onsen — Historic sulfur bath house at about 900 m in the Hakkoda mountains · the winter bus terminus, in one of Japan's snowiest inhabited places
• Ajigasawa — Fishing town on the Sea of Japan coast · the Gono line stops here, with Aomori Spring about 20 minutes up the hill toward Mt Iwaki
