Kiroro spans 660 metres of vertical drop between its 520-metre base and 1,180-metre summit across three interconnected peaks: Asari, Nagamine and Yoichi. The resort operates 27 runs across 297 acres, with 38 per cent beginner, 29 per cent intermediate, 25 per cent advanced and 8 per cent expert terrain. Annual snowfall averages 21 metres, positioning Kiroro among Hokkaido's snowiest destinations thanks to its proximity to the Sea of Japan, where cold Siberian air masses trigger heavy precipitation. The 2025-26 season runs from 30 November to 6 May, offering one of Japan's longest operating calendars.

Asari Peak at 1,180 metres serves as the highest summit, accessed via the 3.3-kilometre Kiroro Gondola or a series of chairlifts, whilst Nagamine Peak at 1,090 metres and Yoichi Peak at 900 metres provide varied terrain across distinct sectors. The longest run stretches four kilometres from Asari Peak to base, descending through well-spaced birch forest. Five designated off-piste zones within the resort boundary offer tree skiing through natural terrain, accessible via marked gates for riders with avalanche gear. The resort maintains smooth groomers across all peaks, with consistent pitch favouring confident intermediates.

The base village sits at 520 metres in Akaigawa, centred on the Mountain Centre facility with rental shops, restaurants and onsen access. Accommodation clusters around two Club Med properties and the Yu Kiroro ski-in/ski-out residences, creating a self-contained resort atmosphere without a traditional village. English-speaking staff, multilingual signage and efficient operations cater to international visitors. Night skiing operates from 13 December to 5 April until 7:00 PM on select lifts, extending daily riding hours through the core season.

Kiroro operates independently without major pass affiliations, though the resort offers season passes at ¥68,500 and multi-day packages with discounts for Hokkaido residents. Daily lift tickets range from ¥6,500 to ¥7,200 depending on season, with children five and under skiing free. The resort suits powder-focused intermediates and families seeking quieter slopes within 90 minutes of Sapporo, 50 kilometres from Niseko and two hours from New Chitose Airport. Established in 1991, Kiroro has evolved from a relative unknown to a recognised destination for deep snow and uncrowded tree skiing.
