Day by day
We start in Hokkaido, moving between the deep tree runs of Rusutsu, the side-country stashes of Furano, and the world-famous powder fields of Niseko. After days of hunting chest-deep cold smoke, we transition to Tokyo for a neon-lit, sushi-fueled cultural reset before pushing into the heart of Honshu. From there, we base out of Myoko Kogen and the historic village of Nozawa Onsen, conquering the natural steeps of Madarao Onsen, the majestic terrain of Akakura and old-school Nozawa Onsen Snow Resort.
