New to the Kusatsu Onsen Ski Resort lineup for the 2018–2019 season, during warmer months the R292 Trail is actually part of National Highway Route 292. Closed to vehicular traffic in winter months due to the region’s substantial snowfalls, the road becomes a slope for skiers and snowboarders of every skill level.
This unusual slope is gentle and wide, so even beginners can pick up some speed gliding down this easy slope as it wends its way partway down the mountain. More confident skiers can extend their run by starting with the Aobayama Dai-ichi slope before joining R292, and then finishing up by cruising down the Tenguyama course by way of Onariyama for an extended run of 4,300 meters.
