The Truth About Moiwa.
Having skied about a dozen Hokkaido ski-fields, I can tell you Moiwa rocks!
Whilst it's small, we love it because it offers awesome off-piste (within the resort on the shirakaba slope) that will truly satisfy those experimenting with powder skiing (plus groomers for beginners/intermediates)
For the more adventurous, you can boot (or skate) out gate 6 (or 10) to access some great side-country that feeds back into the quad lift.
For the even more adventurous, gate 6 also takes you over the back if you're happy to skin and earn your turns.
Please make sure you have avo gear - beacon, shovel and probe mandatory.
The crowds are much smaller than the major Niseko resorts and the restaurant to the bottom of the hill offers very good quality food at reasonable prices. Hope you enjoy it. #tripblazers #awesomepic

Niseko Annupuri Kokusai Ski Area, Hokkaido , Japan
Impressive amount of snow. There are many ski resorts in Niseko. I stopped at Abuta because that’s where the public bus stopped .
Took a ride from Sapporo station -Hakodate Line Local towards Otaru - stop at Otaru Station
Hakodate Line Local towards Kutchan- Kutchan station
followed by Hakodate Line Local towards Rankoshi to Niseko station . Take pictures and then wait for local bus to Niseko Annupuri. Make sure you have a JR pass to do this.
As I am doing a day trip , I don’t mind the multiple stops. as the train rides itself is already considered a good journey .

Here’s 3 secret ski trips off the beaten path I have done in 2020:
1. Niseko in Japan. Famous for endless deep powder and this view over Mt Yotei volcano. One of my best ski trips ever!
2. Skiing in Iceland is rare for most and days like this one with perfect blue skies as definitely not common. however this day everything just lined up and then Iceland is an amazing place to ski.
3. Lyngen in Norway. We went by boat to access remote islands and the walk up to the peak to ski down. An incredible nature experience and great skiing too.
