What's it like at Lotte Arai Resort resort?
Opening 16th Dec 2017, Lotte Arai Resort has had a complete refurbishment of facilities over the past two years. One gondola, two high-speed quad chairs, two pair chairs and a hooded magic carpet lift service an array of beginner, intermediate and advanced riding options, including large areas of controlled off-piste powder skiing. The resort has strict rules about which off-piste areas are ok to ski, and which are not. Many off-piste areas are prone to avalanche, and Ski Patrol has an active avalanche control team monitoring the safety all areas. Before considering riding off-piste please contact Ski Patrol to confirm open areas and daily snow conditions.

Visitor Reviews of Lotte Arai Resort
Goofy TreeHugger from China writes:
Visited January 2019. A major storm system moved in, we had about 1.5m of fresh powder in 2 days. Words do not do justice to the the amazing slack country available direct from the lifts.
Arai is a little low, so it can get wet at the base. But the good riding is all from the top, above a normal freeze line. I did not get into the back country due to avalanche risk.
Lotte Arai is expensive compared to Nozawa, Akakura, Madarao, Tangram etc. At 7000Yen a day including a returnable deposit, there is a big difference to the other local resorts. Facilities are amazing. There is only 1 hotel: Lotte Arai, with around 350 rooms, so the mountain gets a max of 1000 people on it. That may sound a lot but facilities cope very well. There is no easily accessible town (a shuttle bus to Arai Town) so you are stuck in the resort.
Myoko Snow Sports run a ski school there. So there are English speaking instructors.
There are good facilities for children and the hotel offers daycare.
Summary: expensive but good.
