DISCOVER CENTRAL HOKKAIDO'S SMALLER RESORTS
Central Hokkaido is home not only to famous names like Furano and Asahidake, but also to a network of smaller ski resorts that often fly under the radar. These hidden gems offer quick lift access to sidecountry powder stashes, playful terrain features, and tree runs that hold snow long after a storm. With fewer crowds and a local feel, they provide an authentic and rewarding backcountry experience.
Why These Resorts Are Special
The combination of easy access and diverse terrain makes every lap exciting. A single chairlift can drop you into open bowls, mellow glades, natural halfpipes, and steep pockets of terrain — all blanketed in Hokkaido’s famously light snow. Because these mountains are less crowded, it’s common to find fresh lines throughout the day, something rare at larger, busier resorts.
The Yabai Tours Experience
Our guides know how to make the most of these hidden mountains, leading you to sidecountry routes and secret powder stashes that maximize your riding time. Whether you’re looking for playful lines in the trees or longer laps into untouched backcountry zones, we tailor the day to your group’s ability and energy. With our knowledge of snowpack and avalanche safety, you can ride with confidence while enjoying the unspoiled beauty of Central Hokkaido.
