Deep powder, big laughs, and a crew that’s got your back—this is JAPOW, ladies.

Every rider has heard of Japan’s legendary powder… but nothing compares to actually riding it. If you’re an intermediate skier or snowboarder ready to finally tick Japow off the bucket list, this. is. your. moment.

We know it can be hard to find the right crew to ride with—or to plan a trip like this solo—but here, you’ll instantly be part of an all-girls crew on the exact same program. Six full days of guided riding, exploring the best spots around Myoko (home to the longest run in all of Japan), and ending the day soaking in a traditional onsen to recharge for the next adventure. Sushis? Yep, we’ll even learn to make ’em.

“Riding in Japan feels like stepping into a snow globe someone shook just for you.” With an average of 14 meters of snow each year, we believe it! And culturally? It’s a whole new universe…

After 10 years of leading the best women’s surf trips in the world, we’re beyond excited to finally offer our first winter experience—the perfect environment to push your riding, meet new friends, and create stories you’ll tell for years.

Who is this Experience for?

This trip is designed for intermediate riders—confident linking turns on blues, and ready to leave the groomers behind for more adventurous terrain. You don’t need prior backcountry experience, but we’ll be heading into side-country and backcountry zones together. Along the way, you’ll work on your powder skills, learn how to use essential backcountry gear (transceiver, probe, shovel, splitboard/skis), and gain practical avalanche and snow safety knowledge—all in a supportive, all-women environment.

LEVEL: Intermediate

EQUIPMENT: Not included
available for rental

FOOD & CULTURE

Japan is as unforgettable off the mountain as it is on it. Think steaming bowls of ramen and a cold beer after a well-ridden day, the delicate art of sushi-making in our cozy lodge kitchen, and slipping into natural volcanic hot springs while snow falls around you. We will be providing every breakfasts and hand-picked dinner spots, so that every meal is a chance to savour the country’s incredible flavors. And between rides, you’ll experience the rhythm of real Japan—its traditions, its warmth, and the funky little things that make it so unique!

THE LODGE

The Greenhouse is a homely, newly renovated Japanese Ryokan with western comforts, set at the base of Suginohara Ski Resort. All rooms are twin-share, with plenty of space for you and other guests to relax after your days chasing powder in the Japanese Alps. If you’re coming alone (like most girls), you’ll be paired with another awesome lady. Within walking distance of the Romance Chair at Suginohara, The Greenhouse will be your home for seven nights with us in Myoko.

ABOUT MYOKO

Myoko is where deep powder days meet small-town Japanese charm. Tucked into the Japanese Alps, it serves up endless fresh lines, no lift queues, and that friendly, laid-back vibe you wish every resort had. Between runs, you can soak in steamy onsens, wander through traditional streets, and eat your way through ramen, gyoza, and all the local treats. It’s the perfect mix of epic snow and real Japan.
