Three ski mountaineers in a beautiful winter landscape of frozen trees, on their way to the Yoichi volcano near Kiroro ski resort. Hokkaido, the northernmost of Japan?s main islands, is known for volcanoes, natural hot springs and powder skiing. It is geographically ideally located in the path of consistent weather systems that bring the cold air across the Sea of Japan from Siberia. This results in many of the resorts being absolutely dumped with powder that is renowned for being incredibly dry. Some of the Hokkaido ski resorts, like Kiroro, receive an amazing average of snowfall annually. Less well known, Kiroro is the hidden gem of the region, only an hour North-East of Niseko. Usually receiving more snow than its sibling resorts, locals come to Kiroro to escape the lift lines and find deep untracked tree-skiing. Lift lines are rare and even when the snow does stop falling, fresh tracks can be found for days.
