In this atypical Japanese ski film, Kyoichi Karino and fellow guides Nao Kato and Kazuya Furuse explore the isolated massif in whose shadow Karino-san was raised. Karibayama, located on the west coast of Hokkaido’s southern isthmus just 100km from the popular resort area of Niseko, is rarely skied and holds terrain Karino only recently realized he should experience up close. Over the course of two seasons, arduous touring, several days trapped in a snow cave, and a few epic turns, the trio find themselves with a new appreciation for this landscape and each other.
