Central Hokkaido gets 8 to 10 metres of the world’s driest powder every winter- and we know exactly where it settles. Small groups. No queues. A warm onsen waiting for you at the end of every day. This is what a great ski trip looks like.

We love powder!
…But we're not keen on crowds. Our journey started in 2007, when Central Hokkaido felt like a secret. Back then, spots like Furano weren't even open to off-piste riders; we only had Asahidake and Kurodake.
Things have changed a lot since then, but not our idea of a perfect day on the slopes. Our philosophy is simple: Powder? Yes. Crowds? No. We’ll stick to that.
Our guests really value these tucked-away places. You can still get a delicious, authentic bowl of ramen for just 800 yen, and the powder stays pristine until we get to enjoy it. These simple pleasures are truly the best.
If this sounds like your kind of day, every day, keep reading to learn more about what we do.
“My wife and I have been on the powder trip three times now. Fab has awesome knowledge of the Japanese slopes, and offers some great safety precautions and advice if you chose to go off piste for the deep powder and tree runs. It’s really awesome being taken to resorts that have less people, and more powder. Fab will also will take the tour to the resorts that have have the best conditions (the powder) for that day. I have been in the knee deep powder many many times all over Northern Hokkaido, on these powder trips. Very stoked, also did I mention the powder? Arigato gozaimasu! ”
