For cancellations due to personal reasons:
・From booking: 7%
・From 2 months prior: 50%
・From 1 month prior: 100%

When is a decision made to cancel heli-skiing due to weather?

As weather in mountainous areas is difficult to predict, the decision to cancel will be made the day before or on the day of the tour in consultation with the pilot. Tours will also be canceled if there are any issues with the aircraft. Rescue requests will be given priority.

Is climbing gear necessary?

Snowshoes, splitboards, skins, etc., are not necessary.

Can we ski without walking at all?

You may need to walk for about 10 minutes in deep snow (bootpacking).

Is it possible to film with our own drone?

It is prohibited as it may interfere with helicopter operations.

Which mountain areas will we ski in?

We plan to ski in the mountain areas of Hakuba, Otari, and Itoigawa. As we make decisions based on weather and conditions, we cannot provide specific information in advance.

Do you offer shuttle service from accommodations?

We apologize, but we do not offer shuttle service.
