Snow Cruise Onze (Otaru City, Hokkaido)
Snow Cruise Onze
スノークルーズオーンズ (北海道 小樽市)
Planned season:
Friday 23rd November 2018 until Sunday 31st March 2019
Snow Cruise Onze is located to the east of the main area of Otaru city and to the north west of Sapporo city in Hokkaido. The coast of Ishikari Bay is close by. This ski hill opens until 11:00pm every day in the main season and apparently all of the nighta lighting is now LED. There are a few new areas opening this season for beginners and kids. This ski hill has a history dating back to 1965 and has been known as 'Snow Cruise Onze' since 1982. Hokkaido is the second largest island of Japan and also the largest and northernmost prefecture (though it is not usually referred to as a prefecture). It has coastlines on the Sea of Japan, the Sea of Okhotsk and also the Pacific Ocean. Sapporo is the capital city of Hokkaido and was host to the 1972 Winter Olympics. Hokkaido is home to the largest number of ski hills in Japan. While the majority of them are very small, some of the larger ski and snowboard resorts in Hokkaido - mostly found in regions to the west and east of Sapporo - are amongst the most famous in Japan.
