Intro-2-Split
This is the perfect entry level if you are splitboard curious. These are relaxed one day workshops where we get you out in the backcountry learning the basics of splitboarding. You can book these either for yourself and friends or join one of our group days.
Split Days
These 2-day workshops start from where you are at. Normally most of the group has little to no prior experience so we spend one day just getting the basics down, learning how to move, ascend, descend and transition. Once we are comfortable then we are off, second day sees us go for a good tour where we can put everything into practice. Hopefully finding some un-touched lines here in the Hokkaido backcountry.
Powder Tour
If you have already been splitboarding then we can accommodate you on one of our powder tours. These will still help with some instruction and guidance however we will do this whilst on the move. Get in touch and lets discuss what you would like to do and where you have been before.

Powder Camps
We run 4 day powder camps during the winter season. These are designed for those looking to maximise their time in the powder snow but would also like to ride it better than they can currently. these camps are designed to unlock the secrets to riding powder so you can ride all day without the back leg giving way or cart wheeling too much.
Powder & Splitboard Camp
This is the perfect combo to maximise your time in Hokkaido. With 6 days of slackcountry and backcountry snowboarding, every day will be epic. The first 4 days focus on riding inbound terrain, epic trees, and gate accessed backcountry. We'll provide coaching and video analysis to help refine your skills. As intermediate/advanced riders, it's easy to fall into old habits that limit our performance in the powder. After 4 days, we'll explore further on our splitboards, learning new skills and then applying these beyond the resorts.
