What is Kamui Ski Links (Hokkaido) like?
A technical day-trip ski resort where advanced skiers gather to show off their skills
Kamui, the largest ski resort in the northern Hokkaido area, celebrated its 40th anniversary last season and opened new courses to commemorate the occasion, bringing its total to 26 courses. Its iconic feature is the yellow, box-shaped, four-seater gondola, which is now one of the few remaining. Due to its inland location, Kamui boasts incredibly light and fluffy powder snow that cannot be replicated in other areas. Ungroomed courses make up 35% of the resort, allowing powder lovers to enjoy this powder to their heart's content.
Most of the advanced courses are ungroomed, and these are long courses ranging from 800 to 1200 meters, with maximum slopes exceeding 30 degrees everywhere. The undulating courses are full of variety, with snowdrifts, bumps, and walls to hit, so even skiers with a keen eye for terrain will be very satisfied. There are also tree run courses at the top of the slopes, allowing you to enjoy tree runs through the beautiful forest.
Topics from the '25-26 season
OMO7 Asahikawa
More dedicated automatic ticket vending machines have been added to hotels in central Asahikawa. These machines have been installed in
hotels located in the city center (OMO7 Asahikawa, Art Hotel Asahikawa, Hotel Wing Asahikawa Ekimae, Hotel WBF Grande Asahikawa, Hotel Crescent Asahikawa, Asahikawa Toyo Hotel, and Premier Hotel CABIN Asahikawa). The system allows users to purchase tickets online and obtain them by scanning a QR code at the automatic vending machine. This makes skiing even more convenient, as you can board lifts and gondolas without having to queue at the ticket counter!
Items in the rental corner have been renewed!
The rental area has been completely renewed. We have the latest models and shorten your waiting time by booking online in advance. The spacious area, which was doubled last year, allows you to ski comfortably and leisurely.
Starting last season, automatic ticket machines have been installed at all dining facilities, allowing cashless payments.
Starting last season, all facilities have also started accepting the new banknotes! In addition, food and beverage facilities have adopted a new "call system" that not only accepts the new banknotes, but also allows customers to relax at their seats while they wait for their food to be served.

As the name suggests, the superb "ultra-fine powder snow" is piled deep on the steep slopes. This is a place where you can experience the charm of Kamui's wild nature through the steep and deep tree riding that can only be experienced here. It is also an FWT-certified course
・Fresh powder
Maximum gradient: 30 degrees, average gradient: 25 degrees / Distance: 600m / Slope orientation: North
A seasonal deep snow spot accessible from a forest road. A tree run course where you can easily enjoy Kamui's famous smooth powder snow in the beautiful forest. Considering the amount of snow at Kamui Ski Links, the best season is around February, when the courses are open and you can ski in good conditions
・Tree run
Maximum gradient: 30 degrees, average gradient: 20-23 degrees / Distance: 1200m / Slope orientation: Northwest
This tree run course on untouched snow begins at a gate beside the forest road and descends towards the foot of the mountain with a gondola. The course is filled with standing and fallen trees, large steps and unevenness, so speed control in deep snow is a must
