Backcountry skiing, which involves skiing or snowboarding down pristine snowy mountains in search of Hokkaido's world-class powder snow, is becoming increasingly popular among foreign tourists visiting Japan. However, there is no end to accidents caused by lack of knowledge or skills regarding snowy mountains. To address this issue, Hokkaido District Transport Bureau has launched a safety info website to help foreign travelers enjoy backcountry skiing safely. You should know before you go!
