A quieter corner of Niseko United, anchored by two ski-in ski-out hotels and the same consistent powder that draws the world to Mt Annupuri.

A powder bowl and hooded-quad tree runs on the north face of Annupuri, shared with the Park Hyatt — cold, consistent, and often the least crowded of the four Niseko United areas.
