Spot of day goes to Kamui Ski Links. Kamui is approximately 2 hours from Sapporo via the expressway (with a toll) and about 1 hour from Asahikawa. This ski area is as low key as you will ever find and sits in above acres of snow covered farmland near fukugawa.

The resort has competitive prices and offers passes at hourly rates. Don’t expect the Hilton at the base or even a fancy restaurant but you can expect terrain for all levels, it’s particularly well suited to intermediate / advanced skiers and riders who enjoy powder in the trees but there is also plenty of groomed terrain for the less adventurous.

The mountains management has a relaxed attitude to off trail skiing and I’m told the mountain manager actually removes trees from some off piste areas for your riding pleasure! Over all it’s a great little but not so little resort, Get There.
