Namerikawa Chidori Ski Area Closed

Chidori was a small ski hill in the Chidori district of Namerikawa, Toyama, about 3.5 km from the Namerikawa IC on the Hokuriku Expressway. It opened in March 1961 and gained a rope lift of about 150 m in December 1970, serving a single gentle slope with roughly 30 m of vertical for local skiers. It later closed; the slope is sometimes used for community snow-play events, and parts of the rope tow machinery remain.
