Imagine road-tripping through Japan’s legendary powder zones, journeying from the remote northern wilderness of Aomori and Iwate all the way down to the deep snowpack of Niigata. This backcountry ski touring focused road trip is designed for experienced skiers and splitboarders seeking the road less travelled, big days days of smashing pow and an unforgettable geographical progression through Honshu’s finest mountain ranges. An ACMG-certified ski guide will guide you on this 10-day adventure. You will skin through the ghost trees of Hakkoda, ascend the volcanic alpine terrain of Mt. Iwate, and cap off the trip navigating the steep, heavy-snow spines and maritime snowpack of Niigata's Tanigawa range. This trip is all about untracked snow, exploration and discovery. After demanding days on the skin track, evenings are spent—soaking in traditional, mineral-rich onsen hot springs and enjoying regional Japanese dinners that change with every prefecture you cross.
