10+ Day Island Road Trip

"The Big One" is a secret remote volcano off the coast of Japan. At only 39 miles in diameter yet 5,646ft high, this volcano is the epitome of mountains to sea with steep alpine lines and gentle glades.

The Details

Overview

Getting the opportunity to visit the island is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that will be the most exotic place you ever ski. Join a JMGA certified guide and tour some of the most dramatic backdrops and best snow of your life.

There are no lifts here, only vast amounts of backcountry terrain. If you are looking for the ultimate Japan experience that is unlike any other, look no further than a visit to "The Big One."
