private guiding and day tours

For years we have been asked to provide day or private group guiding services and for 2012 this is now a reality.

Our knowledge of the secret stashes and hidden powder bowls of central Hokkaido is second to none. Over our 31 years of professional guiding in central Hokkaido, participants on our tours have fullfilled their powder skiing dreams over and over again. With our backcountry and resort knowledge, they have been able to ski the best powder snow in the world.

You can now avail yourself of this private guiding service on either a day tour or an extended private guiding tour. We specialise in central Hokkaido and you can choose from the following areas.

Furano | Kamui | Asahi Dake | Tokachi
