Description

Discover the incredible Hokkaido, a Japanese island full of powder and deep snow to satisfy all splitboarders' wildest dreams. Join me on this incredible 7-day adventure.

On this amazing trip, we'll visit some of Japan's main snowboarding areas. These include: Sapporo, Otaru and Niseko. We'll even visit the ski resort of Kiroro. They all offer incredible options for beginner and advanced splitboarders. We'll decide which routes to take according to your level, interest and the weather conditions. You can review the sample itinerary below, but we can adapt it to your needs and wishes.

Make sure to bring: avalanche safety gear (beacon, probe, shovel), splitboarding equipment, boots and snow shoes. I am happy to help you rent whatever equipment you may need, just let me know.

I am also more than happy to help you sort out your accommodation. I can recommend you several hotels in the areas. Just make sure to book them as soon as possible since high season gets full very fast.

Get ready for a wonderful adventure in a unique and remote corner of the world. Hokkaido will not disappoint you.
