Hakuba Goryu & Hakuba47 Mountain
The landform the resort sits on: the shape of the hill beyond the pistes, how steep it gets, and where it stands among the mountains on JapowDB.
Broadly one hillside, leaning to the north-east.
Where this vertical sits among the mountains on JapowDB
926 m, more than 34 of the 40 mountains on JapowDB.
The mountain
遠見尾根 (Tōmi-one)
- Above it
- 五竜岳 (Goryū-dake) 2,814 m
- Landform
- Tomi-one is a ridge running down off Goryu-dake, and the gondola climbs it. The peak above is welded tuff sitting on a body of biotite granite. The ski area is a long way below that, on the ridge's lower shoulder at 1,676 m.
- Rock
- Under the top of the lifts is the same ultramafic rock as Happo next door: Ordovician to Silurian serpentinite, around 450 million years old, so the two neighbouring resorts stand on one ancient belt. Below it is loose fan and talus.

Measured
01
Which way it faces
Faces east.
Most of the mapped runs fall away toward the east.
02
How steep it gets
Its steepest pitch measures 42.6°.
Its steepest tenth is steeper than 37 of the 40 mountains here that carry pitch data.
23.5° the steepest tenth of runs
03
How varied it is
Its runs range from 6.7° to 26.0°.
Half of them are gentler than 15.1°. Each mark is one run.
That spread is wider than 30 of the 40 mountains here that carry pitch data.
04
What grows on it
Mostly deciduous: broadleaf woods and larch. They stand bare through the winter, so you can see a long way into them.
