Description

I invite you to a backcountry skiing trip starting in Sapporo, the capital of Hokkaido. Enjoy the best powder snow as well as the exciting city nightlife of this great destination. You can also relax in an onsen after an intense journey!

Only 2 hours away from Sapporo, there are a lot of accessible ski areas, like Niseko, Kiroro, Sapporo International Ski Resort and Kamui Links. All of them have great powder snow!

For this trip we’ll choose the best area according to the snow and weather conditions of the previous day. You can request to book one or more days, and every day we will search for the best possible conditions. Both skiers and splitboarders are welcome to join on this trip.

After an overload of fun in the snow, we will have the chance to take a dip in a hot spring (onsen).

Please contact me if you are interested in this activity. It will be great to go searching for untracked lines in the place with the world’s best powder snow!

  • Guiding fee
