Amazing

The best powder snow of the 2023-2024 season!

It was a season plagued by bushes due to lack of snow, but luckily, we happened to be there on a weekend when a lot of snow fell in March. The fluffy, floating feeling that could be called Appi's powder was the best of the season, or rather, the only time we experienced it. Even in a season with little snow, Appi Kogen Ski Resort is a place where you can experience the best powder if the timing is right. Even if there's no snow, you can enjoy freshly baked bread and delicious soups from a bakery that's just a few minutes away by free shuttle bus from the Center House!

Appi Kogen Ski Resort

Resort features

Appi Kogen features 21 expansive slopes and excellent snow quality. Experience the exhilaration of skiing on compressed snow and the weightless sensation of powder skiing. Located at 40 degrees north latitude, Appi Kogen benefits from north-facing slopes and a snow environment that provides stable skiing conditions. Beginners can enjoy a 5.5-kilometer downhill course from the summit, while advanced skiers can experience an exciting 2-kilometer course of uncompressed snow with long powder runs and natural bumps. Additionally, the Nishimori and Zailer areas feature tree run zones where you can enjoy Appi Kogen’s premium powder snow.
