Hokkaido Powder Guides commenced operations in 2005 after seeing the wonderful potential of a ski guiding company in Hokkaido.
LOCATION
Hokkaido is one of the snowiest places on earth. This phenomenon is due to the winter weather patterns originating from Siberia which produce some of most dependable powder in the world. What you will experience is some of the deepest and lightest snow that you will ever ski/ ride.
