In the morning, come in full-body costume and pass the check at the gate to get free entry and free lift rides for the day. On the main slope, the park's new staff character Rokko-san holds a mock welcome ceremony and takes a first run with mascots Snoil and Waruil. In the evening, Murasaki Sports hosts the night session "various lines '26" with pro riders on a special park. A fun way to catch the first day of snow season close to Kobe.
