A short P-can FACTORY lesson from Ryuoo in January 2021 on riding bumpy slopes and powder the easy way: look for the soft mounds where a wall forms, turn there so the snow holds you, and avoid turning where the base is scraped, with demonstrations in chopped snow. Captions are heavily garbled.

A high-school graduation trip vlog: a 4:42 am start, a five-hour bus to Ryuoo Ski Park, a first-ever snowboard session without the free beginner lesson because sign-up had already closed, slow falling-leaf descents, onigiri and crepes, and a reminder to check the lesson hours in advance.

An official 43-second short in which a staff member tries Ryuoo's free snowboard-debut lesson: a moving belt to the practice area, boot and binding basics, one-foot sliding, side-slipping with an instructor's support, and even lift-exit practice, all free and without reservation.

Opening day at Ryuoo Ski Park on 7 December 2024 after a big natural dump: snowy road and shuttle from the lower car park, the 166-person ropeway into whiteout, fluffy powder on the summit quad with boxes already set and walls to play on, then a piano session and new menu at SORA Terrace Cafe.

A late-April 2019 clip from Hachine channel noting that Ryuoo Ski Park plans to stay open until Golden Week and announcing a collaboration event with other snow YouTubers at the resort on 3 and 4 May, located via the Yukiyama app. The spoken parts are mostly garbled; riding footage with music fills the rest.

Iguchan's early-December 2021 visit to Ryuoo Ski Park, recommended for beginners: shuttle bus up, a forgotten season pass, the ropeway to the top lift, and a surprising amount of natural snow rather than man-made. The captions are mostly noise over riding footage.

A P-can FACTORY technique lesson filmed at Ryuoo in January 2021: how to enjoy bumpy, chopped-up powder by starting turns before each mound and pushing into it, side-slipping through the softest sections, and using the terrain to brake and float. The auto-captions are badly garbled.

An official 98-second short titled as a top-to-bottom run of Ryuoo's signature Kiotoshi course, set to the resort theme song. The only spoken audio is the jingle, so the course itself is never described in words; the description calls it fully ungroomed and about 1,400 m long.

A ground-trick snowboarder comes to Ryuoo to film the 6,000 m long run uncut, is refused at the expert-only gate for having no helmet, and instead films a nonstop top-to-bottom run from the highest lift with tricks and park hits, in soft spring snow with thin cover lower down.

A 37-second short from a Kanagawa outing channel pitching Ryuoo Ski Park as a place you can play all day without getting tired: a view over Nagano from near the summit, a sea of clouds when timing is right, soft powder that makes falls painless for beginners, and a popular restaurant with a view.
