Explore Asahidake: Backcountry skiing in Hokkaido

Join me for this amazing 3-day backcountry ski tour in Hokkaido. I will take you to the best powder areas based around Asahidake, the highest mountain in Hokkaido!

On this tour, you’ll be able to experience the popular and classic backcountry skiing on Asahidake, as well as some of my secret spots in the vicinity to hunt for more powder snow away from the crowds.

Aprés Ski in Japan involves delighting your taste buds and hungry stomach with delicious Japanese cuisine. Ending your day in a hot spring ‘onsen’ with its relaxing effect will prepare you for another fun and adrenaline filled day. I believe this trip will be a great opportunity for you to enjoy both the world-class powder skiing and the Japanese culture and hospitality.

Everyday we will go to different skiing spots. That way, you will be able to experience different types of snow, from light powder to dry powder. You will also enjoy variations in terrain, from skiing through the trees to carving your big turns in a wide open face full of pow.

As this is an intermediate program, you should know how to ski on advanced slopes with steepness up to 35-40 degrees. You need to be comfortable skiing tree runs and have full control of your skis, being able to stop anywhere.

Please contact me if you want to start planning this ski trip with me! There are also longer tours if you want. In fact, you can take a look at this 6-day or 12-day trips. I look forward to seeing you in Hokkaido!
