Gay Ski Week Hakuba

Gay Ski Week Hakuba is a ten-day hosted ski trip in the Hakuba Valley in Nagano in the Japanese Alps. It runs as part of the Hakuba Rainbow Festival, and listings for it go back at least to 2019.

The base is Penke Panke and Panketo Lodge in Wadano, close to the Happo-One lifts. The schedule moves with the snow, with ski days at Happo, Iwatake, Norikura and Tsugaike, plus onsen visits, group dinners, karaoke, a pool party, and themed nights such as the Love Rainbow opening and the closing Candy Mountain party. Packages bundle lodging, lift passes, equipment hire and transport between events.

The organisers list the 2027 edition for 5 to 14 March 2027, and bookings are open through their site.
