Our 7-day powder skiing safari is based in Furano, on the eastern side of Hokkaido, Japan. This quaint Japanese city is surrounded by incredible backcountry terrain and ski resorts. Options abound as we create unique itineraries each day based on the weather and conditions.
We start in central Hokkaido, then move east to search out the deep powder stashes and incredible cuisine. Our mode of recreation is a mixture of resort skiing, side-country and backcountry skiing and riding and we prioritize whatever mode will yield the deepest turns and the most vertical for each day!
Each day we'll sniff out the deepest conditions Hokkaido has to offer. Some days we opt to ride lifts and optimize the face shots in the resort. We also have a number of "side-country" stashes that provide a lift-assistance to our powder pursuit. Other days we find the deepest turns in Hokkaido by earning them backcountry. Your guide will break trail for you, so don't worry about that!
Beyond skiing, we dive into the food and culture of Japan. After charging hard all day, we recharge our batteries with a relaxing onsen (traditional Japanese hot spring) and delicious local food. Local attractions and traditions are rolled into the mix as well to get a feel for Japanese culture.
Our small group sizes allow us to access more powder skiing and provide a sense of camaraderie as we dive deep in Hokkaido's renowned powder and terrain. We limit out groups to 4 skiers per guide and match their ability levels to ensure you get the snow and terrain you're looking for!
Get ready to experience the thrill of carving through the world's finest snow, surrounded by stunning mountain views and the warmth of Japanese hospitality. Don’t miss out on the skiing experience of a lifetime!
