藏王山海拔1600公尺處,西伯利亞寒風挾帶日本海的濕氣,對青森冷杉造成奇特的作用:冷杉被霧凇與積雪逐漸包覆,直到化為15公尺高、成排矗立於高原上的白色巨人。到了2月,你甚至看不出裡面藏著樹木。當地人稱之為「樹冰」;其他人則稱之為雪怪,這個稱呼確實貼切——依風向雕琢的方向不同,它們看起來像戴著兜帽的人形,或是外星生物。這種現象僅在地球上少數地點才會出現,需要恰到好處的海拔(1400至1700公尺)、恰當的樹種(青森冷杉,密度足以留住水氣),以及橫掃溫暖海面的西伯利亞冬季寒流。藏王的樹冰是最容易親近的一處:纜車從藏王溫泉出發,15分鐘即可將你載上山,接著沿著木棧道步行,與雪怪平視近距離接觸。部分夜晚(請查詢時刻表——通常為12月下旬至3月初,17:00–21:00)會以彩色燈光照亮樹冰,超現實但也頗為俗麗,見仁見智。冰層堆積高峰在2月中旬,此時冰層厚度達到最大、形狀輪廓也最為戲劇化。
