Gate 2: Annupuri Peak
Location: Annupuri
ADVANCED TO EXPERT
Orientation
S – SW – W
Inclination
30º to 45º
Terrain features
Open alpine bowl: wide and fully exposed, featuring steep pitches, prominent cornices along the upper ridges, potential wind-loaded slopes, and very few trees for anchors or reference. Classic high-alpine terrain that looks amazing but carries serious avalanche hazard.
Description
Direct access from the Annupuri peak into wide-open alpine terrain featuring some of the longest and most flowing lines in Niseko. Absolutely incredible on a clear powder day, but highly exposed and genuinely dangerous when visibility is poor or avalanche conditions are elevated.
