With the guide's careful attention, you can enjoy the experience at your own pace

The stage is the magnificent Kitadaisetsu area of ​​Hokkaido.
As a cat tour affiliated with the North American Helicopter & Cat Association, it is renowned for its thorough safety management by IFMGA/JMGA certified guides and North American-style operation. Another

secret to its popularity is the hospitality of the guiding. The unique weather conditions of the Sea of ​​Okhotsk mean there's a high chance of encountering light, dry powder, also known as "silky powder."

Enjoy both open barns and tree runs

Day tours mainly involve open runs that are not groomed or packed down, but depending on the participants' skiing skills, they may also guide you into the tree area. The tree area is entered only after the guide has thoroughly assessed the guests' skiing skills and physical strength, and has built a strong relationship of trust between the guests and the guide.

If you want to try a variety of tree runs, take the 2-day tour. The 2-day tour is limited to skiers and snowboarders who have tree-running skills. If you have little experience with tree runs or are unsure about participating, be sure to ask about the recommended dates first. (There are no skill requirements for private tours.)

With many repeat participants, the tours are guaranteed to be a friendly and fun experience. Past tour reports are posted on the website, and they are filled with smiling faces from the participants, conveying the fun times the guides and guests had on the superb powder fields
