Your guide and coach is one of the most experienced and qualified professionals working in Hokkaido who has decades of experience riding in these areas as well as reading the conditions and terrain. The terrain you'll ride ranges from big mountain alpine lines to undulating tree riding and expect some of the deepest, lightest and driest powder in the world.

Plus, we have a ladies heli-ski day lined up so you can get your powder fix. If you're a first time heli skier or a savvy veteran, your mind will be blown by the mountains and the snow quality from our base in Wanaka.

Lotte Arai Freeride Week

Spend a week riding at Japan's most luxe 5-star resort, guided by Freeride World Tour athletes Erika Vikander and Michaela Davis-Meehan. Arai is close to the coast so it receives plenty of snow with 21 metres last winter! And the terrain won't disappoint either with 70% of the resort left un-groomed and there's 10 avalanche controlled backcountry zones with over 1000 meters of vertical. It's locally known as Japanese Whistler, but without the crowds. Enjoy!
