Hokkaido is a powder snow ski paradise. It is one of the best powder resorts in the world. I will guide you through the best routes in Niseko, Moiwa and Rusutsu.
The itinerary will be varied, depending on the chosen routes. But we will mostly use lifts at the ski resorts and there will be no hike-up to the site.
We can also enjoy skiing down at the forest area! You will marvel at its beauty.
For this tour, some ski technique is required, but it is in general great for backcountry ski beginners. Please note that we are not going to ski on the areas prohibited by the ski resorts.
Here are a couple of examples of routes we can take:
– Asahikawa Area: Asahi-dake, Kamui Ski Links, Furano Ski Resort, Pippu Ski Resort, etc.
– Niseko, Rusutsu, Sapporo Area Niseko Moiwa, Rusutsu Resort, Sapporo Kokusai, Sapporo Teine, Kiroro, etc.
We will determine the exact place and time to meet depending on the chosen route for the day. We will ski approximately during 4 hours, meeting around 8AM and wrapping up around 1:30PM.
