ESCAL PLAZA
Night Skiing
The only resort in Hakuba offering night skiing every single day. Freshly groomed and reset every evening, the gentle slopes welcome riders of every level.
Hakuba Goryu’s Toomi slopes offer night skiing during the season. The long, wide course, roughly 1,000m, has a gentle grade that’s reassuring for children and beginners. Each day, after the daytime slopes close, the course is groomed by snow groomers, resetting the slopes for the day for the most enjoyable night riding experience.

Support our Sustainability Efforts with a POW Ticket
Able Hakuba Goryu has joined the “Sustainable Resort Alliance (SRA),” a platform newly established in December 2023 by our partner, the general incorporated association Protect Our Winters Japan (POW JAPAN). This platform supports the transition to zero-carbon and sustainable practices at ski resorts nationwide.
Starting from the 2025-2026 season, Goryu has introduced the POW Ticket system for Night Skiing season passes and Night Skiing lift passes.. There is now an option to donate ¥1,000 for each night ski season pass, or ¥300 for each night ski lift pass. Donations will go toward environmental initiatives.

What is a POW Ticket?
The POW Ticket is a special lift pass that includes a donation on top of the regular price. This donation directly supports the ski resort’s efforts to decarbonize and make ski resorts more sustainable. By choosing this lift ticket, you are actively contributing to the long-term sustainability of the ski resort.
Ski resorts that have joined the SRA and adopted the POW Ticket system will publicly report on how the donations are used and the results of those initiatives. Let’s ski, have fun, and work together to make ski resorts more sustainable with the POW Ticket! (Quoted from POW JAPAN)
At Goryu, we are introducing this system to achieve a more sustainable ski resort operation.
