The ski course located in the middle of the forest of Ezo spruce trees, which is unique to Hokkaido, is a spectacular sight. There are many different routes to ski on, and the forest routes have fluffy snow that makes it ideal for deep powder skiing.

How about trying your hand at powder skiing in such a magnificent place? Why not try skiing at Asahidake, the paradise for backcountry skiing?

During periods of heavy snowfall, you'll have a special skiing experience.

Looking out from the hotel early in the morning, the frost covering the Japanese spruce trees was beautiful.

    • I participated on 2/26/2016!

      I participated because I wanted to ski on the powder of Mt. Asahidake. It was the best. I participated alone, but there were four other participants, and everyone was addicted to the powder of Mt. Asahidake. The weather on the day of the participation was cloudy with snow, with a little wind, and the snow quality was the best fluffy powder. However, it was a situation close to whiteout due to the fog. I was worried whether I would be able to enjoy the powder, but it was a tour with professional guide Wada, who knows Mt. Asahidake very well, so it was no problem. From the first run, we climbed with snow seals. Then we enjoyed the long powder with a series of face shots. We had lunch while looking at the continuous photos he took. After that, we took the ropeway and enjoyed the powder. We realized the great potential of Mt. Asahidake. I participated for only one day, but the other tour participants were tough, with some staying for two or three days, making it a total of six days. Next time, I would like to participate for consecutive days. The wind is strong on Mt. Asahidake, and any traces are quickly wiped away, and the weather changes rapidly, so I thought it would be difficult to enter the mountain with only a little knowledge. There is a risk of avalanches and stepping through snow cornices. This is a recommended tour if you want to step one step further into the deep world. It is also recommended for advanced skiers. By the way, I mainly did side country in Hakuba, but I became addicted to powder snow at Mt. Asahidake (lol). The tour will run until March 21st this season and they are looking for snow-clearing crews.   (This review has been machine translated into English)
