Groomed slope

Abiko's groomed slopes, meticulously polished with time and expertise. With no stress from the snow surface, you can enjoy comfortable skiing for extended periods—many say it feels like they've improved their skills! The exhilaration of the first groomed run of the morning is truly exceptional.。

Non-groomed trail

Thanks to its ideal location, this area receives snowfall that rivals even Hokkaido's finest powder. Experience it to the fullest on our non-groomed courses. When snowfall is scarce, Course A of the Second Ziller becomes a challenging mogul slope. Recommended for those confident in their mogul skills.

Mogul Lane

With relatively gentle slopes and easy access to the course, this is the perfect spot for first-time mogul skiers to take on the challenge.
(Mid-January to May 6 at the latest)

Tree Run Zone

Parts of the Nishimori and Zaira slopes' forests are open as tree run zones. A system where you complete entry procedures and enter through designated gates. Enjoy Appi's premium powder to the fullest!
