Home > About Hokkaido Powder Guides

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.

LOWER GUIDING RATIOS
Lower ratios offer the most rewarding ski guided experiences. We have a commitment to provide the highest quality guided service, and a low ratio provides for a safer, more successful, more efficient and more enjoyable ski experience for you.

We are a small business and value the friendships that we create with our clients.

CUSTOMIZED TRIPS
We specialize in custom trips which allow for a more personalized experience catered to meet your needs. We help you set the itinerary so that you can ski when and where you want.
