With 13 years of experience in Hokkaido, not only does Black Diamond Tours know its mountains inside out, they also know what weather works best for each zone they visit.

Overview Go beyond the boundaries and stake your claim on your own secret powder stash!

Black Diamond Tours backcountry package offers an opportunity to truly get off the beaten path and into Hokkaido's legendary backcountry. The focus is still on getting as many powder turns as possible, but equipped with a qualified backcountry guide and a full set of touring equipment, our options are limitless.

All of the resorts visited on this trip offer great backcountry ski terrain along with spectacular inbound off piste areas. This means that depending on the weather, tours can be flexible deciding on the amount of hiking versus lift accessed skiing. If it is puking with snow and white-out conditions, chances are the in-bounds riding is the place to be; alternatively if its bluebird and hasn't snowed for a few days - beyond the ropes you'll go.
