Evergreen Backcountry Ski Tours - Explore the Japan Alps
Come and explore the vast Hakuba backcountry and some of the very best powder skiing in Japan. The Japan Alps average 12+ meters of somewhat dry powder each year (see our Hakuba Snow Report), and no other mountain range in Japan has comparable terrain.
Evergreen offers certified avalanche professionals and seasoned backcountry guides for our Japan backcountry tours. Gunma & Niigata area backcountry tours are provided by Canyons.
