Asahidake Ski Ropeway

Hokkaido, Japan

Asahidake is Hokkaido's highest mountain and on top of that it is an active volcano. It is not really a ski resort as such, more like a backcountry zone that you don't need to do any climbing for. Having said that it is exhilirating to make the 700 mtr climb to the summit where you can ride down through the smoke emitting fumaroles and that is one of the big alpine attractions at Asahidake (see the 7 day tour on the right). Although the "resort" has 4 courses, these are really more to aid you getting back to the ropeway as the bottom half is rather flat. It is much more fun to take some off piste runs (completely allowed and encourage) and then rejoin the groomers towards the bottom. The ropeway takes you about 500 mtrs up, and runs every 20 minutes.
