World Snowboard Guide Insurance

Asahidake Ski Area, Japan

Introduction

Asahidake is located in the centre of Hokkaido near Asahikawa City and close to the resort of Furano. This is a real freeriders resort with one cable car to the top where you're free to make your own route down (a major draw point in the somewhat regulated Japan). There are plenty of trees and with all the Hokkaido resorts there is usually plenty of powder.
