This is our most isolated backcountry location where we access by snowmobile.
Japan Guided Backcountry- The White north
The White North
In the northern reaches of Hokkaido is located once of the most precipitous places on the island. We went searching for a backcountry zone off the grid, far removed from more frequented areas of Hokkaido. What we found was colossal amounts of snow and some of the best tree skiing on the island.
Transfer to the Asahikawa, the gateway to Hokkaido's northerly backcountry terrain. Check in and meet your guide who will fill you in on the snow conditions and weather forecast for the week ahead.
We are in our northern terrain from today. This is the perfect warm up area to the week ahead. A short approach will take us to the skiing zone. This is great north facing terrain in a horse shoe shape with different ski options.
We will be skiing a beautiful north facing bowl that we call 'Superbowl.' This is a great circuit where we will cover some distance and vertical. We take a local hot spring before transferring back to Asahikawa.
We are in our storm day zone today. There is a short approach and the area provides for fantastic tree skiing in a sheltered backcountry location. This spot always delivers!
Our ski destination today is a narrow valley with skiing on both sides. One side offers a great north facing bowl, while the other side offers steep chutes we call the 'Finger Chutes' with no approach to maximize our turns.
We will be driving to an isolated area of Hokkaido today where there area few skiers. This location has some of the lightest powder on the island and always delivers exceptional skiing. Our circuit makes the most of northerly facing terrain in nicely spaced trees.
Farewell and airport transfer.
