ASAHIKAWA SKI HOLIDAY INFO

Furano is the best known of the local ski holiday resorts that can be accessed from Asahikawa. Furano has a reasonably sized ski area and an outstanding snow record. The conditions on piste are often excellent and the snow off-piste is a dream. Those visiting Furano need to check with the local tourist board to lawfully gain access to the off-piste. There are tight controls on the terrain out of ski area although a police declaration or use of an official guide are often enough to gain access to the off-piste. Kamui Ski Links is another ski area that can be accessed from Asahikawa. It is smaller than Furano but has a similarly impressive snow record both on and off-piste.
