guided by Evergreen
Outdoor Center Cold temperatures and snowcapped peaks mean it is time for more winter outdoor recreation in the Japan North Alps. These amazingly jagged and steep peaks are comparable in terms of beauty and diversity to any major mountain range in the world. These mountains on average receive over 10 meters of accumulated snowfall between December and April. They stand just a little under 3,000m with their alpine zone starting at around 2,000m giving way to huge wide open bowls of deep powder. Evergreen continues to explore new areas deeper and further afield but find ourselves returning year after year to ride awesome powder on familiar lines on the numerous ski hills in the area. Allow Evergreen’s professional staff to guide you to the very best areas in the backcountry and on the resorts. Whether you are an experienced veteran in the backcountry or are testing the slopes for the first time. We guarantee you will have a magical experience in the snow covered mountains of Japan. Even if you are not a skier or boarder, come explore Hakuba’s winter landscape by snowshoe or try cross country skiing on the 1998 Winter Olympic Nordic course or other special areas in the valley. Definitely one of the best things about a day out in the mountains is returning to relax and soak in an outdoor hotspring as snowflakes fall all around. Evergreen also has some new and exciting programs this winter. Our new ‘First Tracks’ Powder Clinics will get you the early morning fresh powder lines of the day with tips and techniques from a knowledgeable instructor. Children will also have a ball in our newly designed Kids Camps and Daycare service. We have tons of fun-filled activities for playing indoors and out. For those interested in improving their ski or boarding ability why not join in a lesson with our qualified instructors from around the world. We offer lessons for young children through to the young at heart, from beginner to expert. No matter what your ability or desired activity, Evergreen can set up a memorable winter get-away for you and your group. See you in the Japan Alps. Evergreen Outdoor Center is located in the Wadano Visitor Center. |
