【4K】『カムイスキーリンクス』（北海道旭川市）道民もこのスキー場の価値を知らない！隠れた日本有数のビックゲレンデを徹底紹介！
By: 気ままなおやじの趣味 · 2026-01-15
Kamui Ski Links is a ski area in Hokkaido, Japan. The terrain spans roughly 110–718 m above sea level. The mapped ski area covers about 3.0 km². Within 2.5 km of the centre, the map shows 56 marked runs and 6 lifts, totalling about 28 km of piste. There is no settled snow at the moment — the season has not started here yet. Over the last three winters the ERA5 reanalysis gives it 209 cm of snowfall a season, 996th (tied) of the 3,112 ski areas we measure worldwide. The model runs well below what resorts report, so the ranking is the meaningful part rather than the centimetre figure. 2 official live cameras are linked below. 50 other ski areas lie within 120 km. Snow figures and the Powder Score are recalculated every day.

The tick marks the median across the 395 Japanese ski areas. All four bars run the same way — longer is better.
The quality score deliberately excludes how much snow falls — it uses temperature, frequency, rain and wind. Snowing a lot and snowing well are different things.
Compared with what is nearby
Within 50 km straight line. Measured the same way, so the ranks compare directly. Ski areas a few kilometres apart share a weather grid cell and can return the same figure.

| Inosawa Sky Slopes | 12 km | 200 cm | 1085 |

When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
Month by month, the most snow falls in December. March brings 66% of January’s snowfall. That is a gentler fall than the median for ski areas in Japan (51%). For skiing, though, the amount matters more than the share: March brings 35 cm, less than the median of 45 cm.

What was actually measured nearby
Total snowfall from December to March recorded at the 深川 weather station — 10.3 km from this ski area, 359 m below its mid-slope.
| Three-season average | 637 cm |
| 2023/24 | 697 cm |
| 2024/25 | 732 cm |
| 2025/26 | 482 cm |
The figure calculated on this page is 209 cm.
A weather station is not a ski slope. We picked one at a similar elevation, but it stands in a valley or a village. More snow falls on the mountain above it. We have not tried to guess how much more.
