“Hokkaido is the second largest island of Japan and is an absolute paradise for free ride skiers. The island benefits from a unique weather phenomenon that makes the snow extremely soft and powdery. Snowfalls occur on daily and can go up to 10m! This dreamy snow combined with Japanese traditions make it an unforgettable ski trip. Laila and her friends headed there for a 10-days ski trip (8 nights) perfect for experienced (or the very least skilled) skiers. There are no ski lifts because you are in the total wilderness, but not to worry, your appointed guide will know all the tricks and turns. If your kids are not up to it, there are great ski resorts located on Hokkaido island. That way, they can still enjoy the amazing snow and the incredible Japanese experience at their appropriate scale! Our budget for the whole trip was around $ 5200 per person for 8 nights (all included).“
