Jiyuya Summer Slope (Water Jump Park)

Most people come to Shizukuishi for snow sports in the winter, but Jiyuya offers the opportunity to try skiing or snowboarding in the snowless seasons—with a water landing at the end. The owner, an enthusiast and certified instructor in snow sports, wanted to offer something different for skiers and snowboarders in the warmer months. This innovative facility has become popular with both local residents and visitors.

There are three different slopes of varying degrees of difficulty. First-timers can start out on the easiest slope and gradually work their way up to the more challenging jumps as they develop confidence. Some local residents even use the facility as a way to keep up their skiing and snowboarding skills in the snowless seasons. Highly skilled athletes from other prefectures also come to perfect their flips and jumps. The staff, all skilled skiers and snowboarders, offer encouragement and advice on techniques to beginners. The atmosphere is supportive and easygoing in equal measure; whenever someone completes their first jump successfully into the water, staff and spectators reward them with cheers and applause.

Visitors are welcome to use their own snowboard or skis, but since people coming to Shizukuishi in the snowless seasons are unlikely to bring their equipment with them, Jiyuya provides everything on a rental basis. The staff take safety seriously, and participants wear life jackets, helmets, and other protective gear. Children can participate from the age of four; in fact, youngsters often master the slopes more quickly than older family members. Jiyuya is open rain or shine, except when there are strong winds or storms. In addition to the three water-jump slopes, the facility includes a skateboarding area. Showers and changing rooms are available on site as well.

自由屋夏季滑雪場

來到雫石町（「雫」，音同「下」）的人大多為了冬季雪上活動而來，但在「自由屋」，非雪季也照樣可以體驗雙板或單板滑雪。雪場的老闆是一位熱衷雪上運動的持證教練，他希望在溫暖的季節裡也為滑雪者帶來不同的體驗，因此創立了這處深受當地民眾及外地遊客歡迎的新穎“滑雪場”。

雪場設有3種不同難度的坡道。初學者從最簡單的坡道開始，循序漸進，建立起自信後再挑戰跳躍動作。當地居民甚至將這裡當作無雪季裡保持滑雪水準的訓練場，還時常有技能高超的運動員特地從外縣過來磨煉翻轉和跳躍動作。雪場的員工不但是單板或雙板滑雪的好手，更是熱情的教練，以鼓勵的方式指導初學者各種技巧。每次初學者第一跳成功，員工和圍觀群眾即爆發歡呼和掌聲，氣氛十分輕鬆和諧。

訪客可以使用自己的滑雪板。但鑒於在無雪季造訪雫石町的遊客多半不會攜帶裝備，自由屋提供所有裝備的租賃服務。參加者必須穿戴救生衣、頭盔和其他防護裝備。4歲以上兒童就可以參加滑雪，有時孩子們比家長更快掌握技巧呢！除了大風或暴雨天氣，自由屋全天候開放，這裡擁有三個水上跳台，以及滑板區，還設有淋浴室和更衣室。
