Daisetsuzan Sounkyo Kurodake Ski Resort
Carve Through Pristine Powder with Breath-Taking Alpine Views
Located on the majestic Mt. Kurodake within Daisetsuzan National Park, this authentic mountain resort offers premium powder snow and a long skiing season that lasts until early May.
The northeastern slopes of Mt. Kurodake, which stands at 1,984m, are a treasure trove of light, dry powder snow—a gift from the harsh environment where winter reigns for nearly half the year. The moment you begin your descent from the very spot that serves as a scenic observation deck in summer, you will feel an overwhelming sense of freedom, as if leaping into the vast sky. With the grand peaks of Northern Daisetsuzan spreading out below, racing down courses with a maximum gradient of 25 degrees provides an exhilarating rush that can only be experienced here.
Thanks to the intense cold that nurtures such high-quality snow, this resort is one of the first to open in Hokkaido and remains skiable even in the warm spring sun. On the tranquil forest courses, you can feel the refreshing breeze as you glide between snow-covered trees. Beyond skiing and snowboarding, the resort offers a wealth of activities to fully immerse yourself in the nature of Daisetsuzan, such as snowshoe hiking based around the 5th Station. Enjoy a moment of connection with the pulse of the great outdoors in the crisp, clear mountain air.
