"Go To Ski" Let's go skiing
Powder, backcountry and freeride topics
Many things have changed since then, but one thing that will never change is the “exciting time before the season starts”.
I want to experience backcountry skiing this year, I want to see how well I can ski in powder, and I want to leave a good ranking in the competition.
What do you do with the gear according to what you want to do? Where should I go to the ski resort?
Let's lean forward and plan for winter while the snow piles up.
For the first BRAVOSKI of the season, we collected various topics for powder, backcountry, and freeride so that you can refer to it.
"POWDER"

Powder skiing is the ultimate time for skiers. It is exhilarating just looking at a clean slope where no one has skied. In order to have more such experiences this winter, we are introducing some topics related to powder.

"BACK COUNTRY"

Unlike managed ski resorts, it is up to the skiers to decide where and how they ski. The feeling of climbing and sliding on your own feet will be an unforgettable experience once you experience it. This season, more than ever, is said to avoid crowds at ski resorts, so it may be the perfect time to visit the backcountry. Here again, we have collected topics related to backcountry.

"Hokkaido powder belt"
This is the collective term for areas where you can enjoy powder. The area is huge and you can definitely find good conditions somewhere in the high season. This area is divided into three parts. Tomamu, where you can enjoy snow resorts, the urban ski area centered on Asahikawa, and the backcountry around Furano and Mt. Tokachi in between. Here, I would like to introduce how I enjoyed both Tomamu and Asahikawa.
