Heli ski in Hakuba. Well yes and no. The heli skiing here is more like a heli lift into a really beautiful area above the Tsugaike resort. The run down is through some mellow fields and gives you a taste of the backcountry skiing here. For those wanting a little more of a rush you can climb up the hill from the landing area to the top peak which will take about 30 to 40 minutes and enjoy the views of the Japan sea over the back before choosing a more challenging route down. The operation begins in March and will run on particular dates through to Golden Week in May. I can thoroughly recommend it on a clear day as a good joy ride along with some nice skiing.
