指合スキー場　新潟県村上市

Sashiawase was a small ski area located in Sashiawase region of Murakami City in the northern region of Niigata Prefecture. This is one of those local ski areas about which very little information can be found. There seems to have been one rope tow lift at this location, and the ski area probably closed around the early 1990s.
