Introducing the FIELD EARTH Lounge, adorned with snow gear from “FIELD EARTH,” Asahikawa’s local snow brand. This space is born from the desire to share the breathtaking beauty of nature with everyone. Each piece of snow gear is tailored to match the unique traits of each ski area, revealing their individual charms and various ways to enjoy them. This will help foster camaraderie among skiers and snowboarders. You’ll also find notebooks in which anyone can share their thoughts as well as board games, adding a lively touch to your time at the FIELD EARTH Lounge.
Getting lift tickets at ski resorts often takes time due to the crowd size at ticket counters. Handling your wallet is also honestly troublesome when you’re donned in bulky ski wear. Understanding the inconvenience of purchasing tickets, OMO7 Asahikawa now offers lift tickets and redeemable vouchers at ticket counters within the hotel premises. This way, guests can obtain these essentials hassle-free and dive straight into enjoying the powder snow as soon as they arrive at the ski resort.

Choosing the right snow wax depends on the day’s snow quality and temperature at the slopes. At OMO7 Asahikawa, a hub hosting skiers and snowboarders who explore multiple ski resorts, we prepare a collection of 30 snow wax varieties. Furthermore, the OMO WAX BAR at OMO7 Asahikawa stocks snow waxes from more than five manufacturers. As each manufacturer has their own special features, guests can select their preferred wax to suit the day’s conditions. Available 24/7 and free to use, it ensures that your snow gear is in top-notch condition, allowing you to fully enjoy Asahikawa’s snow.
A dedicated ski drying room near the main entrance allows for drying and safe storage of skis, snowboards, boots, and more. Positioned conveniently behind the OMO WAX BAR, it offers efficient drying and storage before and after applying snow wax. Equipped with shelves for drying gloves and goggles, plus a boot dryer, guests can prep their snow gear for optimal skiing the following day. Access requires a key card, and our shop also sells chains, providing a secure and organized facility for snow gear management.
