Classic Spring turns in Niseko Hirafu

As the count down to the end of the season draws closer in early May, amazingly this week in Niseko powder turns have still been enjoyed by a lucky few.

Thursday was a special day on the mountain with 15-20 cm of fresh powder on the upper mountain and blue skies.

POWDERSHOTS was able to shoot with acclaimed local skier Toshiya Sato from Niseko Kotobuki ニセコ寿
