CYCLE TOUR ROUTE | Lake Toya (洞爺湖) is one of Hokkaido's largest lakes, and it is in close proximity to Sapporo City. It has a paved perimeter road, which is mostly traffic free apart from a few spots. It makes for a gorgeous day ride. We were there with friends in spring last year...and now finally got around to posting the photos and some information.

Up on the site now, we've made a list of guidebooks for Hokkaido river and lake canoe tripping. We've been doing a lot of research lately, as we gear up to launch a new section of the Hokkaido Wilds website. Very exciting! Many of the resources are pretty old, and they're all in Japanese, but they're better than nothing. Do you know of any other guidebooks we're missing? . . . . . . . #vintage #kayak #travel #nature #canoeing #kayaking #lake #paddling #river #rowing #paddle #water #adventure #canoe #canoeist #カヌー部 #カヌーのお兄さん #カヌーキャンプ #カヌー体験 #カヌー探検 #カヌーツアー #カヌー #カヌーツーリング

SKI TOURING ROUTE | As spring encroached upon the Niseko area in April this year, we headed up Horobetsu-dake (幌別岳, 892m). It stands as a last bastion at the edge of the greater Niseko region in Rankoshi Town. The compact range it sits on separates Niseko from the more westerly massif of Kariba-yama near Shimamaki. The topography is pokey and the approach is long, but it makes for a nice 'walk on skis' in the late spring months.

SKI TOURING ROUTE | Shari-dake (斜里岳, 1547m) is a massive free-standing volcano just beyond the western end of Shiretoko Peninsula in eastern Hokkaido. We were there in mid-March this year, and while the weather denied us a go at the summit, this behemoth of a mountain offers the well-prepared ski tourer some excellent skiing.

TESTED | Every now and then, we get motivated to write up some thoughts about gear we've used in the process of exploring Hokkaido's gorgeous outdoors. So we've added a new section to the site: Tested in Hokkaido. It'll be a pretty eclectic collection of rambling non-authoritative thoughts. To start, Rob's new @blackdiamond Helio 105 skis plus Helio 145 bindings. .

SKI TOURING ROUTE | Unabetsu-dake (海別岳, 1419m) is the least technical of all peaks on the Shiretoko Peninsula, in far eastern Hokkaido. If the weather is good, expect epic views as you ski towards the Okhotsk Sea. @rob_tomo, @quentin.moreau, and @michiyorimichikusa visited in mid-March - inclement weather meant they didn't get to the top, but this is definitely on the list for another attempt in the future.

Haidee and Rob took their Canadian canoe paddling skills up a notch in the weekend, with an Intermediate paddling course on the Chitose River. Once again a challenging but rewarding day out with @canoa_naoki the lead instructor at Guide House Canoa. We can't wait to start writing up some classic Hokkaido river and lake touring routes!

National parks in Hokkaido - is it OK to ski in them? In a new post on the site, we dive into the nuances of where and when you can backcountry ski in national parks here. The short answer is if there's snow on the ground, you can ski pretty much anywhere. Spring skiing gets more complicated in some parks though. ❄ Full deep-dive in link in bio. ❄ #backcountry #hokkaidoskitouring #hokkaidowilds #hokkaido #山スキー #バックカントリー #skilife#backcountryskiing #powpow #snowscape #スキー#snowlife #北海道 #雪景色 #雪山 #skiporn #アウトドア #skitime #山バカ #山登り #絶景 #登山 #山が好き #春スキー
