Sapporo Moiwayama Ski Area trail map
Sapporo Moiwayama is the city's own ski hill, open since 1960 on Mt. Moiwa, about 20 minutes by car from central Sapporo. Its ten runs spread over north and south slopes, from gentle family slopes and the 2.6 km scenic road course to the mogul run at Usagidaira and the 38-degree Karamatsu pitch. The big draw is night skiing every evening with the lights of Sapporo spread out below. Local schools hold ski classes here, and a beginner snow-play area makes it easy for families. Long a skiers-only hill, it has welcomed snowboarders since the 2025-26 season. A shuttle bus runs from Makomanai subway station.
