The mountain

Moiwa

  • ◆ G10Anbetsu gateMoiwa, into Anbetsu Creek · 760 m
    Know before you go

    Deep snow and a cliff at the valley bottom. Go too far down and it's hard to get back; expect to push or skate to the lift.

Moiwa is run separately from Niseko United; check its own website for lift status.
