Japan Ski Trips Done Differently

At PowderQuest, we think Japanese skiing ought to be as distinctive as the nation. Our guided ski experiences therefore emphasise adaptability, small groups, and knowledgeable guidance. Our ACMG and IFMGA qualified ski guides guarantee an amazing experience whether you're looking for lift-accessed powder stashes or full-on backcountry touring.

Lift-Assisted Ski Touring

Want to see Japan's unexplored landscapes while enjoying the conveniences of the resorts? The best of both worlds is combined in our Lift-Assisted Touring option. Ride fresh snow off resort lifts to start your day, then follow our guides past the borders into steep chutes, hidden bowls, and powder stashes.

This trip is perfect for skiers and snowboarders who want a balance of resort comfort and backcountry adventure.

Backcountry Ski Touring

Our Backcountry Ski Touring option takes you completely outside of the resorts for those looking for the ultimate challenge. You will earn your turns in this entirely human-powered experience by climbing immaculate peaks before descending into pure powder woods and remote alpine scenery.

The ideal candidates for this choice are seasoned splitboarders and ski tourers seeking an authentic, unadulterated backcountry experience.

Japan offers legendary snow, an active society, and stunning scenery that makes skiing there unlike anywhere else. PowderQuest's guided ski tours guarantee that you can enjoy everything with ease and skill, whether you're chasing storm cycles in Hokkaido, exploring the serene woods of Tohoku, or carving lines through the steep slopes of Hakuba.
