We offer one and two week off-the-beaten track ski and snowboard powder tours around Hokkaido, Japan.
Detour definition: An alternative route to a planned destination. Detours are about great snow. Our trips are built on the premise that keen skiers and riders want white fluffy pow… and lots of it!
