Gate 4 - Fujiwara No Sawa Gate

Access: Accessed from the skiers left of the top King 4 aka “The Meat Hook” chair

Aspect: Easterly

Safety Considerations: High volume traffic area and the traverse across the Easterly Fujiwara no Sawa & Higashi One zones are directly in an avalanche path.

Fujiwara Gate allows you to ski straight in to nice, even fall line fields that can run straight back to Hanazono 3 Chair or with a slightly longer traverse can take you further into the Niseko back country. 

With regular wind loading from the prevailing westerly winds, Fujiwara consistently provides bottomless turns for those who don’t wish to hike to the peak.
