UNTRACKED HOKKAIDO | Guide to offer Hokkaido's empty slopes and deep powder | Hokkaido – Introducing the National Backcountry Guide Club –

The desire to have many people experience Hokkaido that they have not yet seen.

Mountains I want to visit, scenery I've never seen before, fresh powder that no one has stepped on.

If you can go to such a field safely and happily at the best timing... "UNTRACKED HOKKAIDO" is a guide service that started with the desire for many people to experience Hokkaido that they have not yet seen. Based in Sapporo, which is easily accessible, the guide will select the best conditions for you from among the endless untracked local spots and powder areas of Hokkaido.

According to Kyoichi Kano, the company's owner, "We are guiding people so that we can provide everyone with unoccupied slopes and deep powder in Hokkaido. In recent years, we have been developing slopes in the southern part of Hokkaido."
