Japan Ski Chasing Powder and Culture in the Land of the Rising Sun

For good reason, backcountry skiers and snowboarders consider Japan to be their ideal location. Japan, which is known for having some of the world's lightest and driest powder, frequently has storms that dump snowfalls that are meters thick, making it the ideal place to chase untracked lines.

From the untamed peaks of the Japanese Alps to the ethereal woods of Hokkaido, the landscape is varied, stunning, and brimming with opportunities for exploration. When you add world-class dining, cultural events, and soothing onsens, you get a whole winter journey rather than simply a ski vacation. Get away from the lift lines and see why snowboarders and skiers alike consider Japan to be a true paradise.
