Hello, I'm going for an one-week ski touring / freeride skiing trip in Hokkaido in February 2015. I can't take my equipment with me so I will need to rent it there. Do you know any place in Hokkaido where I could rent skis, skins and boots? Thank you !

You have a couple options. The ski slopes will all have rentals, as well as ski shops just outside the ski areas outside. Otherwise, I know there are ski shops in Downtown Sapporo near and inside the tanuki koji shopping arcade, which is a huge covered street for pedestrians only if you didn't want to rent on the mountain.

I haven't been to Hokkaido yet but I can offer you some information based on the general skiing infrastructure here in Japan - there should be tons of places you can rent skis from for an extended period while there particularly near any of the larger tourist spots i.e. Niseko.
