AOMORI FREERIDE TOUR - JAPAN

Get off the beaten path in Northern Honshu. We’re headed to Aomori Spring Resort. The annual snowfall statistic for this area is unknown, but a guesstimate would be around of 14-20 metres per season. Due to its northerly position, the snow quality is much lighter and dryer than most other Honshu ski resorts. 

On this tour you will spend 6 nights and 5 full days riding at Aomori Spring Resort. This is an all-inclusive tour with almost everything included in the price – ski-in/ski-out accommodation, lift tickets, guiding, breakfasts, dinners a night time tour and dinner in a local town, airport transfers, and we’ve even got our media team on hand to send you home with a video from the trip.

JAPAN PROJECT RUSUTSU

Japan Project is based at Rusutsu. One of the snowiest major resorts on the planet. It’s Japow on steroids. So you can spend your week deep in the whiteroom, you’ve got two snowboard guides on-hand who know a thing or two about hunting down the best lines, finding the best snow, and making sure you have a good time while doing it. In fact, you could call them professionals. Your hosts for the tour are snowboard legends – Heikki Sorsa and Antti Jussila.

Heikki and Antti will take you behind the scenes and show you what it’s like to ride and film in Hokkaido’s snowiest region. They have been coming to Hokkaido to ride pow and shoot video parts for years which makes them the perfect hosts for the week here in Rusutsu. Plus the guys are always more than happy to provide you with some tips and feedback on the mountain, and share a beer and some laughs at the end of the day.
