Overview
The 90m-class hill of the 1972 Sapporo Olympics is still an active venue — ride the pair lift to the 307m start-gate observatory, where the in-run plunges below and Odori Park lines up dead ahead: exactly the athlete's view, knees tingling. The adjoining Sapporo Olympic Museum adds jump and bobsled simulators that families love, and summer-night competitions keep the hill alive.
