The shirayuki.ski Freeride Week is a powder-chasing journey across Hokkaido, designed for skiers who want to experience the very best of Japan's legendary snow. Starting in Otaru, you'll spend the first days exploring the powder-rich resorts of Kiroro, Sapporo Kokusai, and Sapporo Teine, following the best conditions each day rather than a fixed itinerary. Midweek, the adventure moves inland to Asahikawa, where changing weather patterns allow us to access a variety of mountain areas and hidden freeride terrain.

Freeride in Hokkaido is a freeride experience in Hokkaido, Japan, run by shirayuki.ski and booked through Roundtripski.

Here is what the experience involves, taken straight from the operator's description.

About Freeride in Hokkaido

The shirayuki.ski Freeride Week is a powder-chasing journey across Hokkaido, designed for skiers who want to experience the very best of Japan's legendary snow. Starting in Otaru, you'll spend the first days exploring the powder-rich resorts of Kiroro, Sapporo Kokusai, and Sapporo Teine, following the best conditions each day rather than a fixed itinerary. Midweek, the adventure moves inland to Asahikawa, where changing weather patterns allow us to access a variety of mountain areas and hidden freeride terrain.

Throughout the week, our small groups and certified guides maximize safety, flexibility, and access to untouched powder, while evenings are spent enjoying authentic Japanese culture, local cuisine, traditional accommodations, and the unique atmosphere of Hokkaido's mountain towns. More than a ski holiday, this is a carefully crafted freeride experience that combines world-class snow, adventure, and the authentic spirit of Japan.
