Sapporo Hosted Experience
Two trips in one — the buzz of Japan’s snow capital and the best powder Hokkaido has to offer. Sapporo is one of the only places on earth where you can ride world-class snow by day and be back among ramen counters, izakayas and neon by night. We base ourselves in the city and pick off the mountains on its doorstep — Kokusai for dry powder that rivals Niseko, the 1972 Olympic slopes of Teine, and a night session at Moiwa under one of Japan’s three best night views — before heading out of town to Rusutsu, the biggest resort in Japan and home to its best tree riding. Whether you’re coming solo or with friends, we welcome riders of all levels. Our crew splits into smaller groups by skill level, so you’ll always have people to ride with — and to push you — while our hosts handle the logistics, plan each day around the best snow, and show you the runs and tree lines we keep coming back for.

Explore Sapporo’s terrain with us!
With access to 6 ski resorts, Sapporo is our latest addition to the line up! Lots to explore in the area with all resorts boasting Hokkaido quality snow but without the crowds. We will also be taking a day trip to visit one of the places that made us fall in love with snowboarding – Rusutsu.
Each week has 5 half day hosted sessions in the morning, and free and easy afternoons, where you get to choose – to continue riding with those game to do more, or to take it easy and get a break!
Each evening, our team of hosts will check the latest snow and weather conditions to pick the best resort for the next day, and give you tips on how to layer up properly!
Morning Mountain Orientation
Ride out with your hosts in small groups by skill level. Your hosts will guide you to the best lines for your ability, show you how to get around the slopes safely —and help you level up through the week.
Afternoon Free & Easy
grab lunch, continue riding with new friends, go back to our favorite runs or start apres-ski early – it’s up to you!
Evening
Unwind at Sapporo City’s onsens and izakaya-s after the slopes, or head back to the townhouses to whip up your own meal – it’s your choice!
Check Out
Just like that, it’s Saturday again and you’ll be off to your next adventure, on or off the board – but this is not goodbye, it’s see you again! If you’re heading to another location and would like to arrange for Ta-Q-Bin/ Black Cat to do a pick up for your bags, we’ll bring you to the nearest outpost on Friday evening before 6PM.

Sapporo Townhouse
Your home for this trip is a private townhouse-style stay in Sapporo. You’ll share a townhouse with five of your trip mates — six per apartment — with the rest of the group right next door. It’s an intimate, comfortable base to come back to after a day on the snow: easy evenings in the dining area, your own private onsen to soak away tired legs, and daily trips into Sapporo for dinner — ramen counters, izakayas and the city’s buzzing food scene — before doing it all again tomorrow.
Rooms & facilities:
Twin rooms throughout, six guests per townhouse, with a dining area and kitchenette, shared toilets and showers, and — the highlight — a private onsen to soak in after a day on the mountain.
Single slot in Twin Share Room
Early Bird: $2690 per pax (U.P: $2890)

You’ve asked for more ways to explore the mountains and this season, we’re making it happen. With a 7d6n itinerary starting this season, this means you can travel *between* our destinations and take in the sights of Japan without worrying about rushing on your holiday! From camps that open up progression across more levels – think carving, tree riding, even backcountry – to exploration experiences and expeditions designed to take you deeper into the mountains – you can experience it all, or as much as possible.
More ways to ride, more ways to progress – if this sounds like your kind of season, you’ll want in early.
Early Bird Sale begins 1 July, 4pm.
First Dibs go live on 30 June!
Sapporo Kokusai Ski Resort
One of Hokkaido’s snowiest ski resorts, Sapporo Kokusai is known for its reliable powder, wide groomed slopes and uncrowded atmosphere. The resort features 30KM of trails across all ability levels, with plenty of mellow terrain for progression and tree-lined runs to explore after a fresh snowfall.
Sapporo Teine
Home to the alpine events of the 1972 Winter Olympics, Sapporo Teine offers some of the most varied terrain in the region. Rising to 1,023m above sea level, the resort combines long cruising groomers, challenging steeper sections and stunning views overlooking the Sea of Japan from the summit.
Rusutsu Resort
One of Japan’s most renowned ski resorts, Rusutsu spans three interconnected mountains with 42KM of trails and 37 lifts. Famous for its perfectly spaced tree runs, deep powder and varied terrain, the resort offers everything from wide-open groomers to natural features that keep every run interesting.
Local Gem: Night Ski
One of the nights will be special. We’ll take you night skiing to a special resort that overlooks the entire city. Be marvelled as the sun sets and the city of Sapporo lights up in front of you.
