Guided Powder Tours with Lodging

This 4-night, 3-day guided ski and snowboard trip is built for private groups of 1–5 people looking to explore Hokkaido’s deep snow with maximum flexibility and professional support.

Each day is tailored to your group’s goals, ability, and the weather — whether that’s resort laps, sidecountry adventures, or full backcountry touring. You’ll be guided by a qualified, certified, and fully insured local guide with years of experience and deep knowledge of the terrain.

Open to both skiers and snowboarders, this trip is for strong riders with some experience in powder. Avalanche safety gear can be provided if needed.

We focus on safety, smart decision-making, and finding the best snow possible — every day.

The resorts open to us include Kokusai, Kiroro, Teine, Asari & Tenguyama.
