OVERVIEW
Japan is home to over 500 ski resorts. With the vast majority of tourists only visiting two main resorts, there is a lot of untouched powder to be had. If you want to fully immerse yourself in Japanese culture and ditch the crowds, this is your trip. On this tour we take you to the lesser known hills where lift tickets are dirt cheap, and you are one of 20 people on the entire mountain. Ride like a local.

FAQ
How do your prices compare?
Shop around at other packages and you'll find 7-day trips ranging from $2900 unguided to $3200+ for a guided trip. The dirty secret about the "guided" packages is that they often only guide you within and around the boundary of the resort. You're paying a guide to show you the in-bounds stashes that we have laid out for you on a map.
