A fully hosted ski & snowboard travel adventure designed for all ability levels – come as strangers and leave as friends!
Similar to our popular Niseko experience, the Aomori Experience offers you the same ski & snowboard adventure travel concept with a group of like minded travellers, but with an exotic twist.
Let us show you a side of Japan, still undiscovered by the rest of the world. While ski resorts are relatively smaller and more local, this region boasts a collection of mountains with distinct terrain characteristics and experiences that they offer. They all have one thing in common though – they become an absolute powder haven in winter with relatively untracked runs everywhere you look. With terrain suitable for everyone, Aomori might fast become your favourite region to ski and snowboard in Japan.
Unfamiliar with Aomori’s varied terrain? Our team of hosts will head out with the group each morning to explore the slopes, advise suitable runs for your skill level, and show you our favourite secret spots that will leave you falling in love with Aomori.
On a daily basis, we will be split the group up according to skill level, ensuring that you find people at your skill level to shred and push your boundaries with, led by our hosts giving tips and tricks, daily!
If you are still fairly new to the mountains, our hosts will be with you daily to ensure you feel safe & reassured at all times on the mountains and never get left behind. Avoid making the painful mistakes of getting lost or taking runs too difficult for your ability.
We rode with the locals and got shown the secret spots that tourists will never find. We want to show you the amazing sights that we have experienced and invite you along this journey with us. We dare you – addiction to powder is real.
01
Our home base and the perfect all round resort with something to offer for everyone of all skill levels. From long cruisy piste runs to endless powder tree lines and unique a snowsurf terrain park with a halfpipe, Aomori spring has all you need to make it a season to remember.
02
Needless to say, Hakkoda will be the highlight of your trip! Experience riding along side the mythical tree monsters of Tohoku and prepare yourself for one of the most surreal snow experiences you will ever encounter.
*Important*: Skiing and snowboarding in off-piste terrain is required to ride amongst the tree monsters. For those not confident, your hosts will advise alternative routes for you in Hakkoda. You will still be able to take a scenic ropeway up to see the tree monsters in person, without riding down.
03
We will take you to a truly amazing secret resort that will leave you breathless on a powder day. While slightly smaller than the rest, this resort has very interesting combination of runs for both advanced - beginner skill levels.
For the advanced riders, you will get to experience some of the steepest terrain you will find in Japan. A treat riding down the steeps on a powder day.
For intermediates and beginners, you will find terrain ideal for practicing your turns and carves, as well as some easy powder runs for your to get your first taste of 'floating' on pow.
