OMO7 Asahikawa, an urban tourism hotel by Hoshino Resorts will host the 'Asahikawa: Ski City Declaration' event for its seventh consecutive year. 

The winter event which runs from December 1, 2024 until March 31, 2025 enables travellers to make the most of their ski holiday and après-ski experience with ease. 

Hoshino Resorts believe there are two types of ski trips. The first prioritises easy access to the slopes by staying at a hotel with ski-in ski-out facilities. The second involves staying in a nearby city to enjoy urban sightseeing as part of the ski trip. The latter is generally more affordable and offers a wealth of tourist resources for an extended and fulfilling ski holiday.

Travellers who base themselves in Asahikawa can not only explore Hokkaido's breathtaking natural scenery but visit a variety of ski resorts in the region. With unique attractions like Asahiyama Zoo and a rich culinary scene with over 2,000 dining establishments, Asahikawa is a key city for après-ski enjoyment. The OMO Rangers at OMO7 Asahikawa are hotel staff that are well-versed in Asahikawa's culinary scene who can both recommend and guide guests to establishments loved by locals. 

This year's event will introduce the 'Mountain City Pub' inside OMO7 Asahikawa where guests can enjoy draft beer and delicious food. They can also view the weather conditions in real-time from live cameras at five nearby ski resorts at the OMO Base where the daily 'Powder Info of the Day' sessions take place. Guests can decide on which ski resort to visit based on the detailed insights of the conditions at each ski resort.

Guests can avoid long wait times at ski resort ticket counters by purchasing lift tickets and vouchers inside the hotel in advance. A free shuttle bus from OMO7 Asahikawa will operate daily to Kamui Ski Links, Santa Present Park, Pippu Ski Resort, and Daisetsuzan Asahidake. Guests can travel in their ski wear, wasting no time to access the slopes upon arrival.

OMO Powder Snow Sessions will be held every Saturday at OMO Base, featuring professional skiers and local field guides. Together with OMO Rangers, they will share the allure of Asahikawa's powder snow, the unique features of each snowfield, and tips for après-ski enjoyment from a professional perspective.

OMO7 Asahikawa is equipped with a secure dry room near the main entrance where all ski and snowboard gear can be dried and stored. The OMO WAX BAR provides 30 types of snow wax for free. Featuring wax from over five manufacturers, each with its own uniqueness, guests can choose the ideal wax for the day's conditions.
