All our roadtrips are private for personalised attention and safety. Skiers and snowboarders can mix freely.

Group sizes are mainly limited by vehicle capacity and guide safety. For the best experience, we recommend up to 4 guests per guide.

Larger groups? No problem — multiple guides can be arranged. Resort trips can be tailored to allow more guests per guide if needed.

Typical group limits:

• Roadtrips (Resort or lift assisted): 4–5 guests per guide

• Full Backcountry Roadtrips: 4 guests per guide

Specialist options available on request.

In remote, high-consequence environments, experience and preparation are everything. All Hokkaido Vibe guides are thoroughly assessed and must maintain up-to-date certifications in backcountry travel and first aid. If they don’t meet our standards, they don’t guide — simple as that.

For any tour beyond resort boundaries, avalanche safety gear (beacon, probe, shovel, pack) is mandatory. We offer rental sets, or you’re welcome to bring your own — but it must be fully functional. Faulty gear can delay or cancel your tour.

Please be honest about medical conditions or medications. With distance from rescue, withholding information is irresponsible and unsafe.

The backcountry is serious terrain. Come prepared, respect the risks — and you’ll have an unforgettable adventure.

When it comes to roadtrips, flexibility and local experience are everything. Our guides aren’t just backcountry pros — they’re also fully qualified instructors. That means even if conditions don’t deliver deep powder, we can pivot to on-snow coaching, skill progression, or a resort-focused day. The average Vibe guide has over 12 winters in Hokkaido, giving us the knowledge to build each trip around your goals, ability, and the conditions. From powder hunting to lesson-based roadtrips, we’ve got you covered.

If we’re fully booked, we’ll do our best to connect you with a trusted local team.
