Overall
If we had a describe Asahidake in one word, it would be freeriding. With just one lift up, the resort is basically a sidecountry mountain, and where you go if you want to take your skiing to the next level. With no public transport to the resort, driving is essential; especially as there is no lodging nearby. Staying in Asahikawa is a preferable option, which is an hour away although times could vary depending on the winter road conditions.

Asahidake Ropeway is actually on an active volcano. This resort has a great amount of powder. The snow is cold due to the height of the mountain. The mountain has limited facilities, but is truly great for powder-seekers!... Moreintermediate snowboarder

This is not a ski resort. There is only one ropeway which is mainly for summer use, but the insane amounts of light powder snow have attracted many backcountry skiers and boarders. The terrain is not ideal for skiing, as there are many flat areas on the way back to the bottom. The only pistes are a few cattracks which make the flatspots passable.... Moreexpert skier

Amazing resort with some of the most scenic views you've ever seen. This is the type of resort and riding you see in DVDs. Not for beginners and a guide is an extremely good idea for all levels at the start at a minimum. Epic tree runs, steep drops and crazy speeds. Love every minute of it but scares the shit out of you.... Moreadvanced snowboarder

Some of the best snow quality to be found in Hokkaido exists in the area surrounding Asahidake. The access provided by just a quick ride up the Ropeway is incredible. You can easily tour from the top fo the ropeway to the Volcano or just lap the ropeway for days. Only downside is how flat it gets in certain spots which is really only an issue if...

Backcountry fun! Serviced by a Dual gondola the Asahidake ropeway offers only a groomed access road, the rest is 100% up to you to find your way down. When the weather plays right, there's an abundance of jumps and drops. Possibly some of the best terrain in Japan. If you're new to Asahidake, a guide would be recommended....

A simple rope way up to the top takes you to some of the best powder runs in Japan. It's harsh on windy days so wrap up warm. There are a number of runs a small hike from the top of the rope way as well as the tracked runs.
All lead down to a gentle run through the forest to the bottom. It always seems to be quiet with no real queues.... Moreadvanced snowboarder
