Moiwayama Ski Resort, along with Bankei Ski Resort, is one of the closest ski resorts to the center of Sapporo. The slopes here are generally gentler than those at Bankei, making it a suitable ski resort for beginners. It might be somewhat less challenging for advanced skiers, but if you’re with your family and have small children, this resort is highly recommended.
The resort is easily accessible, and if you’re driving a rental car, you won’t have to cross the mountain in Miyanomori like you would for Bankei, making it safer for drivers unfamiliar with winter roads.
There are a total of 10 courses at this ski resort, with the top reaching almost to the summit of Mt. Moiwa. At night, you can enjoy the night view of Sapporo. There is a course with a maximum length of 2,460 meters, perfect for those who want to take their time on a long run.
This ski resort has been loved by Sapporo residents for a long time, and it can be enjoyed by everyone, from small children to adults. If you are a first-time skier, it’s a good idea to join the beginner ski school. They will teach you the basics of skiing, so you can fully enjoy your time on the slopes and look forward to skiing again.
However, snowboarding is prohibited at this ski area.
If you want to enjoy snowboarding, head to Bankei Ski Resort. It even has an FIS-certified half-pipe.
