Hokkaido Powder Trip

The island of Hokkaido sits in a perfect location for colossal amounts of precipitation, and some of the deepest powder skiing on the planet. In true road trip fashion, you will ski different locations every day. We will track the snowfall and ski areas that have the best powder conditions, the many micro-climates making this possible. Hokkaido is the last frontier of Japan, so you can be assured of unique cultural experiences, soothing hot springs and delicious food.


What makes this trip special

Hokkaido’s biggest snowfall area

The area of South West Hokkaido receives more snow than any other place on the island.

Ski Hokkaido's 'Fuji of the North'

Mt Yotei looms over Niseko and resembles Mt Fuji. The volcano offers some of the best skiing in Hokkaido, especially if you are lucky enough to ski from the summit.

Ocean views

A number of locations on this trip you will ski terrain overlooking Sea of Japan. Another beniefit of being so close to the ocean is enjoying some of the freshest sushi you will eat.

SAMPLE PROGRAM

Transfer to Niseko, the powder skiing capital of Japan. The banks by the side of the road show just how much it snows here. Meet your guide to discuss the trip ahead.

Travel to a nearby resort and ski some easy side and backcountry terrain. As is customary in Hokkaido, we finish the ski day with a soothing hot spring.

We will be skiing a cone shaped peak with possibilities to ski on a few different aspects. This is some of the steepest tree skiing terrain in the area, and all with stunning views of Mt Yotei, the 'Fuji of the North.'

Ever skied into a volcanic crater? Mt Yotei is referred to as the 'Mt Fuji of the North' and a dormant volcano. Our plan is to ski in to the crater and then down the other side. Finish in a local hot spring with views of the volcano.

Ski terrain with fantastic views over the Sea of Japan. Finish at a local sushi restaurant after a soothing hot spring.

Start at one of Sapporo's local resorts. It's in a zone that gets a lot of snow, straight from the Sea of Japan. A short skin out of bounds accesses great backcountry terrain. You will be transferring to a traditional ryokan hotel after skiing.

On the last day you will ski backcountry terrain with a lift access to start. The area receives high snowfall, where cold air is whipped up from the cold waters passing over the mountains. This spot always delivers!

Farewell and airport transfer.
