On the Asahikawa Freeride Tour you’ll chase the snow and ride at different resorts each day. You’ll get to shred, send and stomp, some of the most insane terrain in Japan with incredibly beautiful backdrops. Mint guides have years of experience snowboarding in this region and will monitor storm cycles daily to ensure you’re scoring these zones in the best conditions. Our Asahikawa base is the perfect base to not only explore the backcountry areas within the Daisetsuzan National Park, but you’ll also ride the lesser known ski areas and a couple of our secret spots. Of course, no trip is complete without a day riding the steaming stratovolcano Asahidake.
Throughout the week you’ll ride a variety of lift accessed backcountry and resort terrain – from alpine to undulating tree riding, and you should always expect some of the deepest, lightest and driest powder in the world. If you still have the energy, there’s even options to go night-riding.
At night Asahikawa is a buzzing city with plenty of ramen shops and izakaya where you can try the local speciality of Asahikawa ramen and the famous Otokoyama sake. After dinner there’s plenty of great bars to check out or simply walk back to the hotel and get ready for another big day riding in Central Hokkaido.
