First launch of "Mountain City Pub" where you can casually drop in after skiing
We've launched our first "Mountain City Pub," a casual après-ski spot. We'll be selling food served on plates designed to look like snowboards. There will be OMO Rangers (*), local guides who are knowledgeable about Asahikawa's cuisine, so dropping by and asking for advice on where to go for après-ski is one of the unique pleasures of the "Mountain City Pub."

In addition, the "Today's Powder Information" broadcast every morning uses this live camera to provide more detailed information on the conditions at each ski resort
Other amenities include a "Snow Gear Stand Room" where you can store your favorite gear in your room, and a free shuttle bus service to the nearby "Kamui Ski Links" and "Pippu Ski Resort," allowing you to enjoy a fulfilling ski trip from OMO7 Asahikawa
