Hokkaido is famous for its powder snow formed from cold Siberian winds blowing across the ocean. The powder is generally dry and deep. We can guide you to the best ski grounds around or take you back country to the best spots found through years of exploring.
Asahidake is Hokkaido’s highest Mountain (Volcano, 2291m) and part of the largest Daisetsu National Park in Japan. Because of its location and low humidity, it gets some of the lightest powder snow in the world. On clear days, you can see the plumes of volcanic smoke rising from the numerous vents on the mountain. A clear blue sky, beautiful white powder, and great views of the surrounding areas are sure to make for an amazing day on the mountain !

Nissho Tohge (Nissho Pass) is a high mountain pass (1106 m, 3,629 ft) at the north-end of the Hidaka Mountain Range. It’s fairly close by to HOA and Patrick’s house, so he spend a lot of time there on his own ! It has something for everyone and it’s definitely off-the-beaten-track. You would be guaranteed to be the only foreigners there!

Kurodake (Mt. Kuro, 1984m) is located at Sounkyo, situated at the top end of the Daisetsu National Park. It is a spectacular region with big frozen water falls and awesome rock formations; a must-see just for the scenery alone. It does get loaded with wintery weather and the terrain is a little tricky to ride.The steeps are steep and can be pretty tight. The hike to the top depends on the snow pack and weather, but if you’re up to the challenge and you get it right, it’s amazing!
