Up your game and ride with our pro guides at Tomamu. Located in central Hokkaido, Tomamu has all the bells and whistles of a luxury ski resort but with the added bonus of receiving some of the lightest and direst powder snow in Hokkaido. Tomamu is a freeride heaven with advanced and expert level tree-riding (off-piste riding allowed!). Take it up a notch and head into the backcountry on a cat ski day where powder stashes are a-plenty. This no-expense spared purpose build resort area is perfect for a 5 night stay and has everything you’ll need including countless restaurants, tubing, ice fishing, dog sledding, adventure terrain park, and even an incredible wave pool. Despite its grandeur appearance, the resort has remained relatively unknown over recent years, so avoid the crowds and head to Tomamu for some incredible pow turns.
ABOUT TOMAMU
Situated on the northern island of Hokkaido is the lesser-known ski area, Tomamu. It’s a luxury, ski-in/ski-out resort that is home to some of the best powder on Earth. If this place isn’t on your powder radar, then it should be. Tomamu is synonymous with the having some of the lightest, direst powder in Central Hokkaido.
THE TERRAIN
While Tomamu receives 10 metres of snow in an average season, the legendary snowfall doesn’t mean you have to be an experienced skier or snowboarder to enjoy it. Quite the opposite. There are plenty of moderately pitched powder lines, and many areas that are left un-groomed that are perfect to level up. Tomamu has the advantage over other resorts as they have designated side country and tree riding areas within the resort boundary that are patrolled, along with a wide open section that is left un-groomed just for you to ride pow. These areas are perfect to get your lift accessed powder fill.
PRO GUIDES
So you can spend your week deep in the white-room, you’ve got two guides on-hand who know a thing or two about hunting down the best lines, finding the best snow, and making sure you have a good time while doing it. They are always more than happy to provide you with some tips and feedback on the mountain, and share a beer and some laughs at the end of the day.
SMALL GROUPS
We offer one of the smallest client to guide ratio’s in the industry which ultimately leads to a better experience for everyone. Our small groups allow greater manoeuvrability and ease of access to the best areas a destination can offer. When we are on mountain, our guest to guide ratio is 6 people per guide. This also makes for a more personal experience between our guests and guides.
