VIDEO: Hokkaido Powder, Helicopter Power

Feb 04, 2022

Hokkaido Backcountry Club

Hokkaido Backcountry Club lead the way when it comes to exploring the beauty and the thrills of the Hokkaido backcountry. Their Six Run Big Mountain heli-skiing package takes it to a whole new level.

This full-day journey begins in Kimobetsu, a small town near Rusutsu Ski Resort and heads to Shiribetsu-dake, a mountain adjacent to Rusutsu that is super popular for ski touring.

Deep snow, completely untracked terrain, steep pitch, long runs, perfectly spaced trees and simply unbelievable views - there are many reasons to hike up and ski down Shiribetsu-dake.

But with Hokkaido Backcountry Club guides and a helicopter, it's so much easier to access all of this, over and over again throughout a whole day - truly, the kinda stuff dreams are made of!

Check it out in the video below!

More About Rusutsu

The Vale Rusutsu was named the World's Best New Ski Hotel, beating out some amazing hotels in the United States, Austria and elsewhere in Japan. And the Rusutsu Resort itself was named Japan's Best Ski Resort!

But it's not just winter in which Rusutsu shines. There's an amazing theme park open through the summer months offering fun for the whole family. And four fantastic golf courses open from May to November for those who get their kicks chasing birdies.
