Iizuna Kogen Ski Area (飯綱高原スキー場, Iizuna Kōgen Sukī-jō) is a skiing area located in Nagano, Nagano, Japan.[1] It is operated by Nagano City.[2]

Constructed on existing alpine skiing runs, it hosted the freestyle skiing events for the 1998 Winter Olympics. The venue was a temporary one for those games.

The resort has steadily declined in popularity and closed in March, 2020 due to insufficient ski numbers and lack of snow fall.[3] The prefecture has offered the resort for free to interested parties if they take on the business liabilities.
