In this powder skills specific clinic we meet early in the morning, catch the first gondola and are rewarded with fresh tracks while the rest of the masses are just rising. With a professional instructor who knows the best powder stashes for the Hakuba Japan area, we will work on powder skiing techniques, tree skiing, and cover some safety concerns while skiing in powder. Our powder clinic is ideal for those with little powder experience who want to go on a backcountry tour with us or just enjoy Hakuba's world-class powder. Once you ride the untouched soft pillowy powder runs you will know where the powder addiction comes from. A desire for fresh tracks and a minimum intermediate skill level are all that is needed to get that one of a kind feeling.

From this Winter Season (08-09) Evergreen is running out of three offices. Our original office located in the Wadano-no-mori Visitor Center is our base for Snowshoe Tours and Backcountry Tours (regular ski lesson bookings can still be made here). We have a satellite base at Hakuba Goryu skifield located in Escal Plaza (opened Winter 07-08). And new from this season we have an on-mountain, ski-in ski-out Ski School Base located near the bottom of the Kokusai Pair Lift, close to the Sakka Area where we conduct our kids and beginners lessons. Please check out our access page for details.
Our original office has not changed location - we are located in Hakuba's Wadano-no-Mori area, very near Happo, and across from the Hakuba Mominoki Hotel. If you need further assistance finding us please do not hesitate to contact us. We at Evergreen look forward to meeting and instructing you and your group here in the Japanese Alps this winter.
See you soon!
