#skitrip ❄️Kiroro Ski Resort 📍Kiroro Ski Resort ▶️【Ski Season】From November to early May the following year. ▶️【Number of Trails】21 trails, with the longest one being 4050 meters. ▶️【Suitable For】Both beginners and experts can find suitable slopes. ▶️【Reason to Visit】 🌊Excellent "powder snow" quality. ⛄️Equipped with an ice park, restaurants, and professional equipment rental shops. 🏂Child-friendly, featuring "Annie Kids Ski School."

#skitrip Kiroro Ski Resort, located in Hokkaido, is a hidden gem known for its deep, light powder and uncrowded slopes. It offers a variety of well-groomed runs for all levels, but its true appeal lies in its off-piste and tree skiing, making it a paradise for powder enthusiasts. The resort receives consistent snowfall, ensuring excellent conditions throughout the season. Modern facilities, high-speed lifts, and a family-friendly atmosphere add to its appeal. While it lacks the nightlife of Niseko, its peaceful setting, high-quality snow, and luxurious accommodations make Kiroro an excellent choice for skiers seeking a premium, powder-filled experience in Japan.

#getgoing2025 Kiroro Snow World is a big slope with a total of 21 courses consisting of three areas: the Asari area, the Yoichi area and the Nagamine area. It is also popular as a ski resort where you can enjoy high-quality powder snow. Powder ride areas are set up everywhere, and you can easily enjoy tree runs, etc. The Yoichi area has a layout centred on a gentle slope, and the Asari area and the Nagamine area at the top have hard for intermediate and advanced players. Snow activities such as Snowmobile Land and Kids Park are available in the base area, so families can also enjoy it.

#skiseason Another Hokkaido gem, Kiroro is known for its reliable powder snow and serene mountain environment. The resort has two main hotels and well-maintained runs that appeal to both beginners and intermediates, with designated powder zones and backcountry access for advanced skiers. Kiroro’s “powder zone” is a popular area for those looking to practice or experience deep powder skiing, and the resort’s self-contained design, with excellent on-site dining and accommodation options, makes it a great choice for those wanting a secluded winter getaway.

Kiroro Snow World This is another valley full of snow. Here you have to take a cable car up to see the beauty of the mountaintop. And on top there is a bell of love. It is believed that if it is shaken, it will help expand the love. This is considered another popular skiing spot in Hokkaido. Anyone who comes during the snow season, I can tell you that it is extremely cold. #VisitHokkaido

#Sapporo Attractions Kirole Ski Resort is a large ski resort that not only has a variety of ski facilities, but also creates an extremely comfortable winter paradise for tourists who come to visit. When visiting the Xilele Ski Resort, tourists feel as if they are in a winter fairy tale world. The neat and winding ski trails, spacious and comfortable rest areas, and thoughtful and considerate service facilities all demonstrate the high quality of this ski resort. Here, tourists can enjoy the thrill of skiing and also take a comfortable rest. In addition, there are many entertainment facilities in the ski resort, allowing tourists to experience more winter fun besides skiing. Visitors can not only enjoy the top skiing experience, but also spend a happy and unforgettable winter holiday.

#summerdream Even if you don't stay at Kiroro Resort, you can rent equipment for skiing and snowboarding. Or if you don't ski or snowboard, you can rent a cable car up to the top of the mountain to see the bell, which is a famous location in the movie Fan Day.

#summerdream At Kiroro, there are skis and snowboards for rent. You can choose how many days you want to rent, whether it's the same as skis and snowboards or just one. If you stay at Kiroro Resort, there will be a discount and you can rent from the hotel below and take the cable car to the ski slope. In addition, if you don't have a ski suit, you can rent a ski suit. The most important thing is to have accessories such as safety helmets, gloves, and goggles, which the ski resort has for rent. But after COVID, you will have to bring your own goggles. In addition, if you stay at Kiroro, you can ski during the Night ride.

Let's talk about the shortcomings first: 🚩The room we booked this time is larger than the last time, but the floor is lower. The activities that start at 8:30 in the morning (often dancing) can be heard very clearly, and sometimes there is a bit of resonance, which has some impact on children with regular routines. Our child is still in the first grade and usually goes to bed at eight o'clock. 🚩The level of coaches this time is uneven. Although we met an older British coach who was very responsible, and a British coach named Michael (who looks like Ed Sheeran), it was not bad! But other young coaches are a bit casual, basically just let you practice yourself. Now let's talk about the advantages: 🚩The price of this season is already cheaper than when we went last time. A friend said that the most cost-effective is to book a one-week ClubMed package including airfare. And this season, the business hours of Sahoro Village have been extended to April 10 this year, unlike last summer when it was not open. 🚩As a ski hotel, it is really recommended for people who like skiing! According to your skiing rhythm, if you miss lunch, there is a late lunch option, if you miss this time, the crepes at the bar are also a good choice. For those of us who are not so keen on skiing, apart from classes, we might feel a bit bored. 🚩The hotel is very friendly to children, especially those who like attention. As soon as my older brother arrived at the hotel, the front desk GO shouted: 'xxx is back!' Everyone knows him, and everyone will ask him how long he plans to stay here this time. The experience is really great! 👏🥳

The skiing skills that have been dormant for three years have finally come in handy again. The main purpose of coming to Japan is to ski. Originally, Hakuba was scheduled, but it was temporarily cancelled the day before because it was heard that there was almost no snow in Hakuba. I thought I could only stay in Tokyo because it's not very realistic for more than 20 people to book anything at the last minute. But unexpectedly, with the joint efforts of everyone, a trip to Hokkaido was arranged at the last minute. It's a good thing we went! This is my first time skiing in Japan, which is really different from skiing in Beijing. The key is that the powder snow allows me to ski without any psychological burden; three years ago in Chongli, I was always cautious about the ice. Mainly because I had a big fall at that time, I was a bit scared. In short, skiing in Chongli is like eating shaved ice, while skiing in Hokkaido is like eating silky and dense ice cream. ⛷️Kiroro: Not many people (probably because it's not the weekend), there are 7-8 ski trails open. Both the pressed and unpressed black trails are worth a try, very exciting! The intermediate trail is suitable for practicing carbine. Most of the ski trails seem to close at 3:30. Lunch went to the cafeteria lumiere, with many choices and good ingredients! Highly recommended! 🏨A-Brand Hotel: It's a castle! It's a hot golf club in summer. It's less popular in winter, so it can accommodate more than 20 of us. There are four or five floors in total (the 5th floor is a 180°C glass-enclosed circular loft room. It's beautiful and cold). Because there are few people in winter, the heating supply is not enough, and there is no special person to make breakfast. The hotel facilities are not new. Except for the quilt being a bit small and the heating not being large enough, everything else is okay. The hotel is about 30 minutes from the ski resort. There is a special car and meals are included. The most important thing is that it is economical. It's already very satisfying to be able to find such a place where everyone can move freely for temporary arrangements. Everything that should be there is there! It's a choice, especially when many hotels in Hokkaido are full and expensive. Once again, I marvel at the feel of the powder snow! I skied for three days in a row and felt it was not enough!
