Power Trip Private Hokkaido Tours
Designed only for the most serious skiers and riders out there (
riders must be advanced to experts to join this tour), the Power Trip is the type of trip that you go back to work to recover from!
Black Diamond Tours will cram as much into one week as possible and guarantee that you will be riding the deepest snow on the island of Hokkaido all week long.
With no set itinerary, BDT will follow the snow to the best of the best over seven days. Equipped with a full set of backcountry touring equipment, 2 vehicles and 2 certified backcountry guides, the options are almost limitless. You will be able to tap into every available option at all the resorts visited including car shuttle runs off the back side of several resorts. Along the way, BDT can pull up to build kickers or hit some classic roadside pillow lines.
Whilst the destination ski areas are ultimately determined by the weather and snow conditions, it is highly likely that you will visit resorts such as
Rusutsu (near Niseko),
Kiroro,
Asahidake,
Kokusai and
Sapporo Teine. By the end of the tour you won't know north from south as you will have been to so may different places!
You'll get to soak in onsens (hot springs), and of course out on the town to investigate the Japanese night life. It is unlikely that you will spend more than two nights in any given hotel, and expect some driving every day, because the key to keeping up with the snow is mobility and spontaneity - so pack lightly and be prepared for plenty of early mornings... and late, late nights!
The 4WD vans come equipped with CD players to keep you entertained, and an ice box to keep the drinks cold.
This success of the trip is as much up to you as it is BDT, so it's anybody’s guess how things will unfold, but one thing is for sure - this will be one heck of an excursion and possibly the best time of your life!!!
Costs have been kept to to a minimum in an effort to accommodate the real ski bums out there however this doesn't mean BDT has scrimped on accommodation; you will generally stay in good quality 3-star or better hotels and lodges.
