Lieven de Bondt: Irian was our backcountry freeride guide in Hokkaido Japan. He is really amazing. Every evening he prepares all the possibility’s for the next day and studies the terrain in detail. He always tries to get the maximum out of it and discusses everything with the group. He knows what he is doing and that gives the group a safe feeling. Definitely the guide you need for all your freeride adventures. Google REVIEW

Ride with us the worldclass deeeep Japanese powder and get to know a great culture with amazing food, hot springs called onsons, volcanic landscapes and very welcoming locals. If this sounds good to you, you can choose between these two holiday options:
Freeride holiday with lift accessed freeriding
Freeride holiday combined with splitboarding/ skitouring

Due to the cold air from Siberia and the moisture from the Sea of Japan Hokkaido is one of the snowiest places on earth. Some areas on the island are claiming an average of 25 meters snowfall per winter. The most snow falls in the period from half January until mid February. During these holidays we ride less known and therefore less crowded ski areas. From my own experince these areas belong to the best freerinding areas of Hokaido.

Freeride holiday with lift accessed freeriding

Among others we ride in the ski areas which are known for the driest powder of the island. All in all we explore up to 6 different areas, thus we get to know Hokaido from diffrent viewpoints and immerse into japanese culture through onsons, sushi and much more. During our holiday we stay in typical japanese mid class accomdations.
