Kamui Ski Links Skigebiet Guide

Kamui ski Links is a relatively small, family oriented ski resort near Asahikawa city that relies primarily on the local market for its customer base. Fortunately, along with its wide open and well groomed pistes, Kamui Ski Links offers some great, gladed skiing and unlike most Japanese resorts permits access and offers patrol assistance to almost all of the terrain within the ski area boundary. The upper half of the mountain has some nice open trees, and you can almost always find fresh lines off the back side of the peak. The trees on the lower half of the mountain can get fairly tight and are better suited to advanced skiers and riders. Don't come to Kamui Ski Links looking for the gnar but if you're up for a cruisy pow day and a friendly Japanese feel, it's worth the effort. There is no 'on mountain' accommodation or village but Kamui Ski Links resort is easily accessible from Asahikawa (20 minutes), Furano (45 minutes) and Sapporo (1.25 hours). Visit this hill on a weekday and you'll find it almost deserted as most of the locals are restricted to riding on the weekends.
