Pekerebetsu-dake Ski Touring (Hokkaido, Japan)

The grand eastern face of Pekerebetsu-dake ペケレベツ岳 (1532m) stands out on the eastern approach to Nissho Pass 日勝峠 in the northern Hidaka Range. It offers easy access to good steep skiing, with excellent powder skiing to be had in the right conditions. The peak gives incredible panoramic views across the Hidaka range and the Tokachi Plains to the east, as well as the Daisetsuzan Range to the northeast.
