Join Ehime AJET as we go to Kuma Ski Land as we go skiing/snowboarding!

For those who have never skied or snowboarded before, Kuma Ski Land has suitable slopes for beginners, and has a relatively gentle gradient. It is a good place to try for the first time. Those who have not skied or snowboarded in a while may also find it a perfect location to ease themselves back in. This is the first of two events at Kuma Ski Land planned (the next one tbc, but will be in January) as we build up to a bigger trip to Megahira in Hiroshima with the Hiroshima JETs on the 10-12th February, so if you think you’d like to join us for the Hiroshima trip but are unsure, this is the perfect opportunity to help you decide!

Ehime AJET will NOT be arranging transportation to Kuma Ski Land. There is a bus from JR Matsuyama Station that costs 900 yen round-trip. For more information about how to get there, please check out the information on their website.

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to email us at ehimeajet@gmail.com, or reach out to us on Instagram or Discord.
