Higashitakasu Municipal Ski Area was a city-run ski hill on the north-west side of Mt. Kitoushi (locally called Sankakuyama) in the Higashitakasu district of Asahikawa, Hokkaido. Opened in 1973, it served mainly local residents as an everyday place for winter sports. With fewer and fewer users, the city suspended operations from fiscal 2018 and formally abolished the facility in fiscal 2019. It no longer appears among Asahikawa's ski areas.
