Ski Dome SSAWS in 1998

Ski Dome SSAWS was an all-seasons ski area like a huge refrigerator, which had 300 feet high, and 1,617 feet length. It had man-made fine snow and kept its temperature 24F. Skies, poles, boots and wears were available so that you don't need any materials to carry with. It had a moderate course and an expert course with lifts on both of sides. The expert course had nice gaps. The moderate course had two exits of moving belt and beginners can start skiing wherever they like. It is pity but Ski Dome SSAWS was closed in September 2002.


A view of a moderate course from the peak. It had gaps at night after many people skied.

Each course has two stages. This was the first stage of a moderate course. It was not steep from there.

This was the second stage of a moderate course. There was an exit of moving belt where people are standing.

A view of the basement from the first stage. Both of courses merged from here. The slop was enough mild for beginners.
