Journey north. You will be skiing through widely spaced birch trees which is what makes Hokkaido so special. These trees provide good visibility during the frequent storm powder skiing.

Ski some of the steepest backcountry terrain in Hokkaido. On a clear day there are magnificent views across the valley to the smoking volcano of Daisetsuzan.

You will ski a smoking volcano today in the Daisetsuzan National park. Peer into the huge caldera and then ski down one of the gully runs. Finish the day in an outdoor natural spring in a primeval forest.

You will ski more isolated terrain today with the assistance of a snowmobile across the approach. We will skin right up from the base of the mountain where we have amazing tree skiing in a secluded backcountry zone.

Ski a local's resort. Its exposure to the west catches a lot of Hokkaido’s predominant snowfall. This is our storm day location where we know we can always get great turns.

Our destination for the last day is Asahidake, the highest mountain and also active volcano. Ski from the highest point of Hokkaido down past smouldering volcanic vents.
