Variety that can be selected according to experience, skills, and intentions
Based on the Hokkaido Kiroro Ski Resort, we will guide you to Hokkaido's best powder area, which boasts the world's number one snow quality. Hokkaido Backcountry Guides offers guided tours in all fields, including the sea, mountains, and rivers, throughout the four seasons of Hokkaido. Over 100 days of various tours are planned during the winter season.
Backcountry Guys offers a wide variety of tours. There is also a backcountry experience for beginners, where you can try climbing using stickers and snowshoes, as well as a tour where you can hone your skills, such as an avalanche course.
You can also choose by location, such as Asahikawa, Niseko, Kiroro, Akaigawa area, Ginzan, Yoichidake. The tour is a small group membership system, and it is possible to stay in the base log house.
A unique trip that makes use of overwhelming mobility and ideas
Full of originality, backcountry guide tours range from high-mobility tours such as Dohoku road trips and Sorachi local ski resort road trips, where you can climb secret points using a car, to full-scale trips to Mt. Backcountry tours and tours to Rishiri Island, which is difficult to visit on your own, are also planned.
Backcountry Guys has a lineup of mountain guides, as well as staff who give lessons and take pictures and movies. You are guaranteed to have a great time with a hospitable guide and make new friends.
