Japan POW: Does It Really Live Up to the Hype?
We’ve all seen the clips: faceshots so deep you disappear, bamboo forests waist-deep in fluff, and riders floating through endless powder that looks straight out of a dream.
But is it really that good?
That’s exactly what ACMG guide Will Mackaness is here to unpack.
Having spent years guiding in Japan’s backcountry, Will knows both the myth and the reality of the world’s most famous snow.
In this LIVE WEBINAR, he’ll pull back the curtain on what skiing Japan is actually like, from the science behind the snow to the cultural rhythm that defines a true Japan ski experience.
This isn’t a travel ad. It’s an open, insider chat with a veteran guide who knows every facet of Japan’s backcountry: the highs, the myths, and the magic.
Because if you’ve ever wondered whether Japan’s legendary snow really lives up to the hype, it’s time to find out. Straight from someone who’s been neck-deep in it.
