Pine Ridge Resorts Kandatsu is barely 10 minutes away from the centre of Yuzawa town, though the resort has the feel of a mountain hideaway.
One of the big attractions of Kandatsu resort is its extensive snow park. There is a wide variety of jumps, rails and boxes to have a go at - some of which are very agressive.
In addition, there are very challenging mogul courses, and the steepest gradient slope in the area - the orion slope is as steep as 45 degrees.
A combination of the wide main piste, mogul runs and snow park means that a wide range of skiiers and boarders can enjoy this resort.
Set in a natural bowl area, the resort attracts a lot of snow. For some reason, the blue skies always tend to hang over Kandatsu - the views are stunning!
Pine Ridge Resorts Kandatsu is a compact resort bursting with varied runs - all in all, the resort is hard to beat for convenience and facilties.
