Appi Kōgen Ski Resort
Appi Kōgen Ski Resort (安比高原スキー場) is a ski resort on Mt. Hachimantai in Iwate Prefecture. It is one of two internationally recognized ski areas in Tohoku (the other being Zao in Yamagata Prefecture). It is much larger than any of the ski areas in Akita. It is the destination of the annual Appi Ski Trip.
Lifts
Appi Kōgen boasts two high-speed gondolas, three high-speed quad lifts, and multiple pair lifts.
Runs
There are multiple runs across the two peaks at Appi.
Restaurants
The Appi main lodge has a food court with many dining options available. Elsewhere in the main lodge is the Little Rabbit café.
At the top of the Appi Gondola is a small, cafeteria-style restaurant.
At the base of the 3rd Central Pair Lift is Red House, a larger, cafeteria-style restaurant with a fair selection of menu items.
There used to be another food court at the bottom of the Sailer gondola; but not anymore.

Many of these restaurants no longer operate in the food court. Those that still do have likely increased their prices, too.
