From heli boarding to cat skiing, secret resort powder stashes to professionally guided backcountry tours,  Hokkaido Backcountry Club offers some of Japan’s best guides, terrain and ski/snowboard tours.

We have spent years exploring resorts, endless backcountry zones, and sidecountry in search of the best lines, hidden zones, and deepest powder. We then developed the best cat boarding and heli skiing in Japan to provide access to Northern Japan’s best terrain. Our cat skiing trips range from single day trips to multi-day trips for intermediate to expert skiers and riders. Our heli day trips can be just one single day tour or combined with cat skiing, backcountry tours, and/or resort tours. While private custom tours are our speciality, HBC offers a wide range of trips to suit your needs. Join HBC this season to hit the same terrain that so many professional skiers and snowboarders have visited.

If you only have a limited time on the island, or you are searching for the ultimate Japan powder adventure sign up for a Hokkaido Backcountry Club guided backcountry tour to guarantee the freshest tracks on your trips. We are Hokkaido’s powder specialists.

HBC is an IFMGA /AMGA supervised backcountry operation and an affiliate member of HeliCat Canada. Click here to see our guide team.
