* Information on this page is from the 2023-2024 ski season. Updates for next season will be made by late 2024.
Nagaoka Shiei is a ski area located in Nagaoka City, the second largest city in Niigata Prefecture. The city-operated ski area is close to the centre of the city.
Due to its low-lying location, snowfall can be unpredictable, which sometimes makes for a short season. Unfortunately, it was not able to open even for one day during the 2023-2024 winter season due to a lack of snow.
Nagaoka Shiei has two pair lifts (415m and 606m). Snowboarding is only allowed in the lower area of Nagaoka Shiei, by the Number 2 pair lift. That is also the area that opens for night skiing.
A 450m 'summer ski' course is available outside the winter season.
Nagaoka Shiei has been operating since 1973.
There are two other ski areas within Nagaoka City. The other two are Koshi Kogen and Tochio Family.
