March Madness Tour 2025
Welcome to March and for many of our guides over in Central Hokkaido our favourite time of the year. Yes the powder snow that we have been enjoying all winter may be harder to come by, but with a combination of longer days, fewer crowds, and a deeper snowpack, March stands strong as one of the best times to enjoy the ski touring in central Hokkaido.
Join us through the high alpine of Central Hokkaido, with crampons and ice axe in tow, to tag off some beautiful summit missions, on skis that may be a bit more narrow than the usual Hokkaido powder ski.
“I wanted to send a thank you to you for making our short time in Hokkaido one of the highlights of our trip to Japan. Sam’s guiding was excellent and ensured each of our three days was a combination of the best snow available and lots of fun; your knowledge of the area and experience was clearly evident. ”
