Sapporo Kokusai Ski Resort Mountain
The landform the resort sits on: the shape of the hill beyond the pistes, how steep it gets, and where it stands among the mountains on JapowDB.
Broadly one hillside, leaning to the east.
Where this vertical sits among the mountains on JapowDB
470 m, more than 4 of the 34 mountains on JapowDB.
The mountain
朝里岳 (Asari-dake)
- Landform
- A basalt volcano with a gently conical body and a summit plateau flat enough that skiers call it the airfield. The lifts here reach the mountain's north shoulder. Kiroro, which is also on JapowDB, has its runs on the other side of the same hill.
- Rock
- Andesite and basaltic andesite lava with its own debris, Miocene to Pliocene, at the top and halfway down alike. The rock and its age match Kiroro's across the hill, because it is the same hill.

Measured
01
Which way it faces
Faces east.
Most of the mapped runs fall away toward the east.
02
How steep it gets
The steepest quarter of the runs faces north-east, a different way from the mountain overall.
Its steepest pitch measures 30.1°.
Its steepest tenth is steeper than 1 of the 34 mountains here that carry pitch data.
12.8° the steepest tenth of runs
03
How varied it is
Its runs range from 7.2° to 13.6°.
Half of them are gentler than 9.8°. Each mark is one run.
That is the narrowest spread of the 34 mountains here that carry pitch data.
04
What grows on it
This mountain has both, in separate patches. The deciduous stands drop their leaves and open up for the winter; the conifer stands stay closed.
