Come and explore the vast Hakuba backcountry and some of the very best powder skiing in Japan. The Japan Alps average 12+ meters of somewhat dry powder each year (see our Hakuba Snow Report), and no other mountain range in Japan has comparable terrain.
Evergreen offers professionally certified avalanche guides (CAA), and seasoned backcountry guides for our Japan backcountry tours.

Just by looking at the respective
Hakuba Japan ski resort maps, you will notice months of possible ski and snowboarding options. Our Japan mountain guiding service
finds the best Hakuba ski and snowboard runs based on your ability. We can guide your group to any Hakuba ski resort and and show you how to
better understand the Hakuba mountains: where to find continuous north facing slopes, where to find nicely spaced trees with powder stashes,
terrain parks, tasty restaurants/bars, and our staff is always good about giving advice for your time in Japan.
