Before heading into the backcountry in Hokkaido’s mountains ⛷🏔️

🚧 Beyond the boundary ropes
You are leaving the resort’s protection behind.
These breathtaking mountains can turn deadly without warning.

Know what you’re getting into before you cross that rope 👇

📡 No avalanche beacon
No beacon means no signal—and no way to find you in time.

🌬️ Total isolation
On unpatrolled slopes, you’re on your own. Help could be hours away.

🪨 Hidden hazards
Rocks, stumps, and debris lurk just beneath the surface—invisible until it’s too late.

💧 Dangerous terrain
Gullies mean falls, freezing water, and no easy way out.

⚠️ Avalanche country
In March 2026, multiple backcountry skiers were caught in avalanches in Kamifurano.

Backcountry is a completely different world from a managed ski resort—sudden weather changes and avalanches pose serious, life-threatening dangers.

🚨 Always avoid high-risk avalanche zones—carry proper safety gear, get trained, and never go alone.
