We had an amazing skiing experience with Sherpas Ride! Our road trip started with a few fresh snow days in Kutchan, offering a wonderful mix of backcountry and resort skiing. We reached the summits of Iwaonupuri, Shiribetsu, and Annupuri—truly unforgettable adventures! Our accommodation in Kutchan, conveniently located near a Seven-Eleven, provided easy access to Onigiris for our tours. The place was clean and spacious, though we did notice the lack of hangers. Thor from Sherpas Rides breakfasts were a real highlight, featuring delicious mini pancakes, homemade granola and yogurt—a perfect start to our skiing days. On one of our evenings we got a presentation from a Japanese women about Japan and Hokkaido. After four days, we continued on to Furano. Along the way, we visited the harbor city of Otaru. It was quite cold and there was not that much to explore. In Furano, we enjoyed another 3.5 days of incredible backcountry skiing. One highlight was our visit to the fumaroles near the Asahidake summit—absolutely stunning! Unfortunately, the visibility that day didn’t allow us to reach the summit, but the experience was still remarkable. Our accommodation in Furano was a lovely Japanese-style hotel. Throughout the journey, we always felt safe and well taken care of with our guide, Peter. He consistently found us the best powder! Our group was joined in Kutchan from Jara a professional Photographer for two days who made stunning skiing pictures, we could buy by the end of the trip. We only brought our skiing boots from home to Japan and Sherpas ride provided quite nice and new Kästle Skis! Sherpas Ride delivered an exceptional experience, and we’d highly recommend them to anyone looking for an unforgettable skiing adventure.

Excellent trip - well organised and exceeded expectations in all respects.

Awesome experience, sailing between amazing isolated backcountry tours. Definitely a fantastic week!
