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
