Day 1
Arrival
Your group is met at Asahikawa Airport and the van is loaded up. Your licensed Japanese driver takes care of the road — a 30-minute run into the city, your first proper look at central Hokkaido in full winter. Check in, drop your bags, and get your bearings. At 7 pm the group comes together in the lobby for welcome drinks, a few bites, and a first look at the forecast.
Days 2 – 6
Storm Chasing
Five full days with no fixed resort. Each morning Fab checks the overnight snowfall, reads the wind, and decides where the group goes. That might mean a tiny local hill with untouched trees, or — when conditions call for it — a safety-guided day on the volcanic terrain of Asahidake or Kurodake. The van is out the door at 8 am sharp with your licensed Japanese driver behind the wheel. Lifts open at 9. You ride until 3, then it's back to Asahikawa by mid-afternoon. Evenings are yours.
Day 7
Last Turns & Departure
No wasted morning. The last day runs on a local hill close to the airport — Santa Present or Canmore depending on conditions — so you get a proper final session before the flight. The licensed driver gets the group back to Asahikawa once the day wraps up, with transfers to Asahikawa Airport or the station for onward travel. If you'd like to extend and stay another night, that can be arranged for an extra charge.
