New Onsen in Hirafu!
Grand Hirafu: Lift Upgrades and New Flavors
New High-Speed Lift!
The old King Quad 3 has been replaced with a sleek six-seater, so lines are shorter and getting to the top faster means more laps and more powder.
Opening December 20.
At the Ace Gondola summit, this on-mountain spot is upscale, sustainable, and built from recycled materials. Food and afternoon drinks with a view!
Alpen Node
At the gondola base, this is the place to hang after skiing—vibrant taproom, solid lunch options, and a little retail therapy all rolled into one. Perfect for that mid-day recharge or an apres-ski pint.

Snomobile Cruise
Experience a guided tour after dark and see the mountain in a whole new light. Recommended!
Snow Tubing at Night!
Whizz down the hill under lights. Fun, fast, and a little ridiculous—exactly what night tubing should be.
