Day 1 (arrival and check-in day): Upon landing at Sapporo’s Chitose Airport you’ll be transferred by Resort Liner coach service to Hotel Edel Warme where you’ll be greeted by Hotel Munin staff which is located nearby. That night we’ll host you for a sushi dinner and drinks, and you’ll meet our team who will run you through the tour, weather and answer any questions you have. (NOTE: If you wish to organise rental ski/SB equipment it is advised that you try to arrive with enough time on the arrival day to be fitted – seek advice from your consultant)

Day 2–4 (snow days): After a hearty buffet breakfast, you’ll suit up and be issued any avalanche rental gear then we’ll take you through our safety briefing. We usually spend the first day guiding you around one of our favourite mountains – Furano. We’ll get our feet and hunt out some powder stashes. That night we’ll celebrate with a delicious Japanese Welcome Dinner Party. Depending on conditions we may do a day tour to Kamui Ski Links. We will spend a day exploring the trees and backside of this fun resort. We may stop on the way back to soak in a famous volcanic onsen. Your guides will take you out in town to experience a delicious meal. Furano is known for its fresh local food. Travel to Sahoro to enjoy an awesome day of secluded tree skiing and a sneaky road drop! Tonight we will take you out to another of Furano’s many delicious restaurants.

Day 5 (optional cultural / rest day): Rest those legs or get a day of free skiing and riding in at Furano if you can’t get enough pow! Ask our guides for their recommendations for dinner – there are some great local restaurants a short walk away or down in town.

Day 6–10 (snow days): Rise early for the drive to Asahidake. Your guides will show the goods of the highest mountain in Hokkaido, Asahidake 2290m. The ropeway does most of the hard work taking us to well above the tree line at 1600m. From there you’ll spend your day exploring the powder-filled ridges and chutes from the lift. This can also be a great day to try out touring gear and experience getting deeper into the backcountry with us. Head to Pippu and get the goods amongst the trees. No crowds here – just you and the powder. Tomamu day tour. Today, your guides will show you around the resort hill of Tomamu with its awesome powder, short hikes and deep north-facing backside. There is some great skiing and boarding to be had here. At the end of the day, you can check out the bizarre indoor wave pool and maybe have an onsen. Ski your last day in Furano. We might hit our favourite lines or take you on a mission into the backcountry. Get those vocal cords warmed up for our all you can drink karaoke dinner party!

Day 11 (check-out and departure day): After all that it’s time to say goodbye to your new friends and transfer to Sapporo’s Chitose Airport with memories to last a lifetime!
