Continuing Medical Education in Japan
There are a variety of reasons Japan powder skiing is at the top of many skiers’ and riders’ destination lists. The island of Hokkaido is legendary for arguably the driest and most consistent powder in the world. Enjoy uncrowded ski resorts and our English-speaking guides who transport us to the best daily snow conditions.
For this trip, we have strategically chosen hotels in the towns of Furano and Otaru to serve as our hubs. Each day, our guides will assess the best nearby conditions and powder, as Hokkaido is known for its micro storms and varied snowfall within small areas.
You will experience six days of skiing at up to six different resorts (it depends on where conditions are best!). There are limited spots for advanced skiers and riders (who have extensive experience skiing off-piste in challenging conditions) to upgrade to a guided side country experience (that requires traversing, but not hiking to return to the ski lifts).
In addition to the legendary skiing, this trip offers a fantastic cultural experience. Our guides will arrange group dinners each night and assist with menu selections for those eager to try new dishes. Our chosen accommodations feature in-hotel hot springs and are conveniently located for exploring the quaint towns of Furano and Otaru on foot.
The Wilderness Medicine CME lectures will be held every afternoon or evening before dinner in a nearby meeting space.
