Trip Details

This trip will include 7 days of skiing based out of two locations - Niseko and Furano. Both of these locations offer an unlimited number of options for backcountry tours or "sidecountry" laps at the numerous ski areas.  Each day we will travel from our lodge via 4x4 van to find the best snow. On the way, we will grab some lunch  at one of Japan's legendary convenience stores (an  outstanding cultural experience in its own right!) After a full day of powder skiing, we will soak in one of the local onsens, and follow that up with an amazing dinner. In the morning we will wake up and repeat the process.

We combine two areas on Hokkaido to give us the best options to find great powder in a variety of terrain: Niseko and Furano. Niseko is a the bustling center of skiing on Hokkaido but has easy access to a plethora of backcountry terrain and some of the most "guaranteed" snow in the world. Furano is quieter and is more backcountry oriented with outstanding touring in the trees and in the beautiful alpine terrain on the volcanoes. 

Our trip includes the following:

  • All transportation during the trip (starting in Niseko and ending at New Chitose)
  • Welcome dinner in Niseko
  • All breakfasts
  • All dinners in Furano (included with our lodging...and some of the best food we've ever had!)
  • Professional Guiding
  • Any lift tickets utilized during the trip
  • An optional cultural day in Sapporo following the trip

Not included:

  • Lunches
  • Alcohol 
  • Dinner on nights 2 and 3 in Niseko 
  • Transfer from New Chitose airport to Niseko
  • Onsen fees
