Hokkaido Fresh Tracks Powder Tour

Ski Hokkaido Backcountry 2008. Backcountry Snow Tours is giving you the opportunity to realise your powder filled dreams and visiting the fabled land of Hokkaido, where it always snows, virtually every week, for 4 straight months; where its almost always champagne powder and there is no one but a handful of locals there to ski it.

We at Backcountry Snow Tours believe that Hokkaido offers the easiest accessed, least crowded deep powder skiing in the world. For consistency of snow and lack of people, it truly is second to none. In Simon and Paul’s first season here, it snowed 30 feet from the first fall (Nov 9th) to Jan 31st, and it didn’t slow down much after that (Simon just gave up measuring it!). And locals were saying that is was a poor season. No kidding.

Backcountry Snow Tours offers you the opportunity to enjoy the best backcountry ski and snowboard tours that central Hokkaido has to offer. We will be travelling around central Hokkaido exploring the areas that only the locals know about. From the easily accessible Kamui Ski Links backside to the steep slopes and glades of Tokachidake and Asahidake, to the powder paradise of Niseko, we will show you the best Hokkaido has to offer.
