Ski touring Japan – Hokkaido – Yotei zan
This was the second stop on our trip to Hokkaido. After almost a month of bad weather we tried the Volcano Yotei-zan (1898m) one of the most iconic peaks in the region.
The weather and snow conditions were good. We followed the Makkari route uphill, with 1600D+. The slopes are long and playfull, ranging from coluars in the upper part and woods in the lower. The morphology of the mountain allow many different lines for the descent. It is also possible to ski in the crater of the volcano.
Overall rating 8/10.
