I get a lot of questions about the ideal ski width for Hokkaido, so I thought I’d put my thoughts down here in a definitive blog post.

In the world of skiing, "good" can mean a lot of different things.

For me, "good" means shin deep or deeper powder with no tracks and nobody else around in good terrain. But I've come to realise that not everyone thinks the same way.

Hey friends,

I’m just finalising prices for the 2027 season. The new prices are up on our website. For those who’ve already been in touch to plan trips, I’ll be in touch over the next few days to confirm dates and finalise your bookings.

For those yet to reach out, we’ve already got quite solid bookings through peak period…

It has been a long road for the Powder Project. It started out with me sleeping in the van between trips in 2017, grew into a busy one-person operation by 2020, shut down due to covid, reopened in 2024, and rebuilt to be flat out in 2025. At the end of that season I was working more than I sustainably could and feeling decidedly uneasy about operating alone in increasingly remote and consequential terrain.

So in the 2025 off-season I scrounged up some money to turn the one-man-show into a team event.
