Further Information

  • Ski Resort Tenei is a ski area in the western region of Tenei Village, close to the border with Shimogo Town 下郷町
    　
  • It opened in 1995 with one pair lift
    　
  • The steep Teine-no-kabe ('Tenkabe') course was the most well-known run at the ski area
    　
  • In later seasons, the number of people visiting was down to about one-third of the peak numbers
    　
  • During the 2019 season, it was only able to open for a few days due to low snowfall
    　
  • The official reasons for not opening for the 2021-2022 season were ongoing snowfall worries, declining visitor numbers, and the ongoing covid situation
    　
  • While the ski area was relatively new (it opened in 1995), maintenance costs were also a factor
    　
  • There has been no news regarding a possible re-opening since then
    　
  • Apparently, the groomer that was used at the ski area has been sold, perhaps signalling a low chance of a revival
    　
  • If there is any news of a possible re-opening, it will be reported here and on SnowJapan
