Sapporo Kokusai Skiing Resort(札幌国際スキー場) is located at the south of Sapporo, right next to Jozankei Area. If you staying in Jozankei, you can enjoy skiing all the day long. After skiing, of course, hot spa! When you access by car or taxi from Sapporo Center Area, it would be faster through Asari-direction, Otaru than Sapporo southward because of its distance and traffic jam. The open hours is short, no night ski, so that you have to go in the early morning for having enough time for skiing. The weather condition could be often changed, so it is possible to stop the gondola for the mountaintop. This is something troublesome. Snowboarders are welcome!
