Snow-Making Machine

I spotted the best budget ski area with a day trip from Tokyo region. The ski area, http://misaka.kamuisp.com/ , is located near Mt. Fuji in Yamanashi Prf. I drive there. It takes about 2 hours from my condo in Totuka, Yokohama City. The ski area has 4 chair lifts and 3 skiing runs open. But slopes are very small, just 200 meters of altitude difference. The longest slope is just about 800 meters, and the steepest slope goes up to 20 degrees inclination. This ski area is for families with young children.

Additionally, the rest of the mountain is completely free of snow. That means this ski area has one of the largest snow-making system. The snow-making machines are being placed on the mountain. Skiing with artificial snow is not so good, but it still feels good to ski outside with my children.
