HBC runs daily heli trips to the 1,107 meter Shiribetsu-Dake volcano, famous for fresh powder lines and steep ridges covered in beautiful birch forest.
The average vertical here is 650 meters (2,130 feet) per run, which means you'll be bagging over 3,000 meters of vertical with our full-day heli packages. All helicopter packages include professional guiding and safety instruction, along with snow safety equipment, including backpack, avalanche beacon and probe.
We also provide complimentary transport services from local accommodation, and include guided resort skiing in case of inclement weather.
Notes
Try and book heli packages early in your visit, to allow for inclement weather.
Private heli packages should be booked well in advance.
