Akagisan Dai 3

Maebashi City, Gunma Prefecture

赤城山第３スキー場　群馬県前橋市

Akagisan Dai 3 was a small local ski area located to the south of Lake Onuma in Maebashi City in Gunma Prefecture. It was one of three ski hills by the lake - the others being Akagisan Dai 1 and Akagisan Dai 2. Only the nearby Akagisan Dai 1 remains open today, though it is much smaller than it used to be. These were the only ski areas operating within the boundaries of Maebashi City.
