Fluffy powder, amazing off-piste and fascinating Japanese culture are all ingredients in this Hokkaido ski adventure. We will alter between great ski areas on the island and aim for an unforgettable powder feast, spiced up with a couple of backcountry tours.
Japan’s “north island” Hokkaido has a legendary status as a powder skiing destination. Strategically placed for receiving cold and dry snow, Hokkaido ski areas gets dumped with up to a whooping 15-20 meters of snow annually.
During our ski adventure week we will stay in two different areas and go for the best areas and snow conditions. You will be accompanied by a Swedish (Upplevelsebolaget) travel guide as well as spend four days with a local ski guide. Lift-borne piste and off piste skiing will be mixed with two days of ski touring, if conditions allow.
Dates
We are sorry to say that even for the winter of 2023 we will stay away from Japan, due to post covid circumstances, as well as difficult times for air traffic between Europe and Japan. We hope to return again in February 2024.
