SAPPORO TEINE

Easily reached: only a 40 minute drive from central Sapporo and a 7 minute drive from Teine Interchange. From the mountain top, over 1000 meters above sea level, you can see Sapporo, Ishikari Bay, and more. From there, you can enjoy fine powder snow on a super-long 6 kilometer beginner's course. The Highland Zone up on Mt. Teine features courses used by the Sapporo Olympic Games, like the male and female slalom courses, as well as the famously steep off-piste ”North Face.” Park newcomers and veterans alike will enjoy tackling the jumps and jibs at the Terrain Park. The Olympia Zone, found down on Mt. Teine's middle section, has courses like ”Shirakaba Sun Shine”, a wide-open slope great for families and beginners, and the ”Dinosaur Kids Park”, where children can go sledding, tubing, or take a snow escalator to ski on a gentle slope.
