Backcountry ski expedition in Teshiodake, Hokkaido

Join me on an exciting backcountry ski expedition in Teshiodake, a Japanese peak inside Teshiodake Prefectural Natural Park, in central Hokkaido.

This part of Hokkaido is blessed with best quality as well as top quantity of snow in Japan. So prepare yourself for some great skiing in untracked runs!

Some highlights of this ski expedition

• Being in a remote area, deep into the mountains. While ski areas nearby are more and more populated with backcountry skiers, this area is still uncrowded. In fact, we'll only get the chance of being there because we'll set up a tent base camp near the foot of Mt Teshiodake.

• Enjoying ski or snowboard descents in open powder slopes with no other people in sight, leaving your undisturbed tracks on the white canvass.

• The vertical descent from the summit of Mt Teshiodake is 700 m and you can ski/snowboard all the way down!

• There are also powder tree runs to diversify your backcountry experience.

• At the end of each day, you'll be able to spend some special time with your friends and other members of the group in a cozy tent setting.

Required technical and fitness level

• Proficient in skinning. Being able to use ski crampons.

• Be able to ski an ungroomed steep slope of 40 degrees in a safe and stable manner.

• Have an experience in camping or have an interest in it.

• Be able to hike up 3-4 hours per day whilst carrying a day pack full of day gears.

• Be able to walk on hiking routes for 2 hours with 20-25kg backpack with camping gears.

• Have sufficient experience in backcountry skiing or snowboarding as well as being in winter snow mountains.

I propose to adapt this trip according to your wishes and requirements. So please let me know how many days you have available, if there are specific areas you'd like to ski in and if you have any objectives in mind or peaks you'd like to ski from.
