Kamui Ski Links, Japan

Introduction

Kamui Ski Links Located close to Asahikawa City this is a relatively small and simple resort with a forward-thinking management team. It has an open-terrain policy allowing you to go-hard in your search for fresh tracks. Kamui receives the typically dry Hokkaido powder and plenty of it too. In addition they also get a huge amount of blue-sky days – so you can catch some rays whilst riding the fairly slow chair lifts. This is not a destination resort and is best when visited on a day-trip from the nearby resort town of Furano - pick your day well and you will be rewarded.
