Unique Freeride Snowboarding Trips in Hokkaido!

Snowboarding in Hokkaido is an unparalleled experience, renowned for its abundant and consistently light powder snow, often referred to as “Japow” by enthusiasts. The island offers a variety of terrain that caters to all tastes, from the fun runs of world-famous resorts like Niseko to the more challenging backcountry areas around Furano.

Forever Snowboard is not your typical tour operator. Their Freeride Snowboarding Trips in Hokkaido, Japan, are designed for riders who seek trips that are a bit out of the ordinary. They provide fun trips that will create memories for a lifetime, with like-minded people.

Mountains & Terrains

Located in the northernmost of Japan’s main islands, north of Honshu, Hokkaido’s unique geography and diverse range of terrains, featuring pristine forests, volcanic mountains, untouched channels and wide-open spaces, creates an ideal playground for snowboarders seeking adventure.

The region’s renowned resorts, like Niseko, provide fun runs perfect for intermediate and advanced snowboarders, with ample opportunities for night riding. For those seeking a more adventurous experience, the backcountry areas around Furano deliver deep powder fields and challenging tree runs. Hokkaido’s volcanic landscape adds a unique element, with natural half-pipes and wind lips formed by the rugged terrain. Pristine, untouched forests offer scenic trails, while wide-open alpine bowls allow for exhilarating high-speed descents. This variety ensures that every snowboarder can find their perfect ride amidst Hokkaido’s spectacular winter wonderland.

The Package

Forever Snowboard offers unique freeride snowboarding trips in Hokkaido, Japan, designed for riders seeking adventure beyond the typical snowboarding experience.

The “East Japow” tour explores the less-traveled areas of eastern Hokkaido, uncovering incredible and authentic landscapes with fresh, untracked snow. Riders visit small local resorts and backcountry terrains, including Furano, known for its natural snow pillows and tree-lined channels. The “West Japow” tour, on the other hand, features the famous Niseko resort and its surrounding areas. This tour includes backcountry adventures and visits to lesser-known spots, providing a mix of popular and hidden snowboarding destinations. Each tour is flexible, adjusting to weather conditions to ensure the best powder experience possible. Riders can expect a blend of lifts and split boarding days based on the daily conditions!

Lodging

All packages include shared accommodations in traditional mountain lodges.

Traditional mountain lodges in Hokkaido offer a quintessential Japanese winter experience, blending rustic charm with modern comfort.

Staying in a traditional lodge allows guests to immerse themselves in the local culture and hospitality, making their snowboarding trip in Hokkaido not just an adventure on the slopes, but a deeply enriching cultural experience.

Getting There & Move Around

Hokkaido is served by several major airports, with New Chitose Airport near Sapporo being the largest and busiest and the one from where the Forever Snowboard Team will pick you up to start your powder adventure!

The guides will drive you around on the snowy roads with private mini-buses that are perfectly catered for the winter weather and Hokkaido snowfalls.

My wife and I booked an 8 day surf charter on the Gahaa with a dedicated surf guide Moussa who was worth his weight in gold knowing what breaks would be firing and his knowledge of marine life and Maldivian environment enlightening for my wife and I. From the initial booking and contact Guilia at AWAVE made the whole process seamless communication was excellent. I have traveled extensively and surfed many parts of the world this trip truly exceeded my expectations the crew were incredible taking us to excellent surf and snorkeling locations. The boat itself is a converted fishing Dohni that exudes old world charm is clean and meticulously cared for. The meals prepared for us were nothing short of exceptional excellent variety and plenty of it a mix of western and Maldivian fare. We are definitely coming back and certainly using AWAVE again! Thank you Giulia and Moussa our trusted surf guide who gave us incredible insights into Maldivian culture.

Absolutely Recommended. Giulia and James are top professionals: I will be using Awave for all my future surf trips. I have been surfing for 30 years and travelled the world so I have dealt with a lot of agents. Awave is in the top spot as far as I am concerned. I spent 10 days with them on a boat trip in Maldivesโ€™ central atolls: not only their recommendations were spot on but being a boutique agency they tailor the surf experience to the very specific needs. They are surfers (real chargers) and know personally each spot and surf operator they recommend (wtether it is a guest house or a resort or a boat).

Trip of a lifetime. First and foremost I'd like to thank James Colston from Awave Travel, for assisting me in every which way to help book one of the most memorable experiences I've had in my life. He was extremely responsive and answered every single question I had, even the dumb ones haha. As for AYADA, holy dooly, that place is paradise! Absolutely breathtaking, I couldn't believe I was actually walking around such a beautiful island! Big love to the staff at Magu Restaurant, seeing as how I ate there pretty much everyday, they were amazing! Very switched on and quick off the mark to help with anything that was needed. A special mention to Dhaboa and the captain who took me out surfing! I cannot speak highly enough about their friendly, helpful and straight up on point expertise. With Dhaboa picking the spots to surf and tips on where to sit to catch the best waves on the day, to the wonderful captain himself, filming and sending me videos of the waves I caught.
Absolute legends! Made my surf trip! Best holiday I've ever been on to this date.

Reliable travel agency to book a surf trip - Both Giulia and James were very reactive and adivsed on the best options. In our case we made a boat trip in Maldives. It is the second time we use Awave Travel to do a surftrip to Maldives and we have had a very good experience in both cases. They are a reliable and trustworthy travel agency, I highly recommend them.
