Ski 'Black Peak' by riding a tram from a deep gorge. After some off-piste skiing accessible from the upper lift from tree line, we hike to the summit and then ski back in to the gorge at the end of the day. Check out the ice village after skiing.

We travel to a roadside backcountry location. Both sides of the narrow valley provide great fall-line tree skiing. It is sometimes referred to as the ‘Chuting Gallery.' Transfer to a hot spring hotel.

We drive to an isolated valley where you will be transported by snowmobile to the head of the valley. A horse shoe shape mountain area gives us various skiing possibilities. Sink in to the hot spring at the end of the day.

We are back in the same valley from a few days ago, to ski the other options that we didn't ski previously. Transfer to a town on the northern coast that overlooks the Sea of Okhotsk and its frozen sea ice. Dinner out and then drinks at a local bar.

Travel day to the north west point of Hokkaido. From the departure port, you will see Russian influences due to the town’s proximity to Sakhalin Peninsula. If there is clear weather on the voyage you will see the remarkable sight of the volcano rising out from the ocean. You will be staying at a hot spring hotel on Rishiri Island.

Over the next three days you will transported via snowmobile across the approaches. Ski from the summit when it is clear, and on low visibility days ski the sheltered tree-line areas. Each evening, enjoy expertly prepared seafood by your hosts.

Morning return ferry then afternoon flight from Wakkanai.
