Daisetsuzan Powder Trip
If you have been to Niseko before and you are gagging to get even more powder, the Daisetsuzan Powder Trip could be for you!
The Daisetsuzan Powder Trip is a
fully customisable tour for PRIVATE GROUPS. In particular, this trip is
suited to ski and split board touring groups that want to get further into Hokkaido's highest mountain range.
The itinerary is based on visiting
Central Hokkaido with an emphasis on the Daisetsuzan mountain range, and
Sapporo… epic zones with incredible terrain. The trip would typically be based from
Furano depending on your skiing interests and timing. Areas within striking distance from these areas are
Asahidake,
Kamui, Furano,
Tokachidake,
Tomamu,
Sahoro and
Kurodake (depending on the time of the season). Wrapping up in Sapporo leaves you with a chance to visit Kiroro, Sapporo Kokusai or Teine Highland. The weather, snow and your interests will ultimately dictate where you end up each day.
For those that are particularly keen to do lots of ski touring and maximize time in the alpine of the Daisetsuzan range, is to stay at higher elevation locations like Tokachidake and Asahidake.
The itinerary is just a sample to provide a concept and price, but there are a lot of different ways to ski Hokkaido and this trip can be longer or shorter, visit more/less areas, take a different route etc. Just let RSGs know about your group, skiing interests, how much time you have and they'll put together a custom itinerary that fits your requirements.
The package includes all accommodation with daily breakfats, lift passes, guiding and the in-bound transfer from Chitose Airport, and private transport in a comfy 4WD van to other ski areas on guided days and to Sapporo.
There are limited guides available for these tours so you will need to be quick to lock down a tour & date. If you have any questions, want to check availability, or get a quote for your group size or trip duration,
you can make a booking request.
Ability & Equipment
To get the most out of this tour, RSGs recommend you be as a MINIMUM, an advanced skier/boarder. You should be able to confidently link together tight turns on black runs and have some powder skiing/riding experience.
You need to have a good level of fitness and be prepared to go ski touring/splitboarding. Whilst the lifts will be used for most of the uphill travel if you wish, having the ability to ski tour as conditions dictate will help weather-proof your trip.
Avalanche safety kit and ski touring or splitboarding equipment is required for all multi-day trips. Equipment rentals are available - please
make a booking request for more information.
