Highlights: Remote Locations Across Hokkaido / Backcountry Touring Focus
Join us for an epic backcountry ski adventure to untracked lines across the island of Hokkaido. Over the course of this trip, we`ll move locations regularly and stay in some of Hokkaido`s less travelled areas. Some objectives within reach of this trip include Mount Yotei, Asahidake, Kurodake, peaks in the Tokachidake area and many more.
Weather permitting, we`ll aim to head into the backcountry and put skins on for at least some portion of all days but we`ll still be positioned close enough to ski resorts in case conditions aren`t well suited to touring or its just time to mix things up with some lift accessed powder.
Accommodation locations have been selected for their proximity to excellent backcountry touring zones… and not listed below to help them remain off the beaten track.
Avalanche safety kit and ski touring or splitboarding equipment is required for all multi-day trips. Rental available – more info here.
