What is Backcountry (BC)

Backcountry is all about getting away from the groomed trails up into the freedom of the open mountains. A BC tour best way to experience some of Japans amazing powder snow. Our BC tours have an emphasis on learning the skills required and of course riding the POW!
In order to keep tour quality high and ensure a great experience we split our tours into 3 levels.; Basic, Standard, Advanced.

Backcountry Tour Levels

Basic Tour

If you are an intermediate skier or snowboarder or above on piste then you can try your first BC experience with our Basic Tour. Only short hikes will gain us access to some great terrain. The emphasis is on learning the basics for entering the backcountry as well as helping with riding techniques for powder.

Basic Courses 　

Standard Tour

If you are confident riding powder and are resonably fit then you can participate on the standard tour.  The emphasis on this tour is more advanced BC techniques and more riding time.

Standard Courses

Advanced Tour

If you have been on one of our backcountry tours before then you can participate on our advanced tour.  These tours require a high level of fitness and advanced riding skills as we may hike from 2-4 hours to access steep alpine terrain. The main emphaisis of these tours are about riding BIG mountains.
