“We visited Hokkaido from Canada and would highly recommend taking a backcountry tour … Our guides were great at curtailing to our riding level and helped us explore a unique piece of the mountain that we would not have had the opportunity to see otherwise. They were also very hospitable, knowledgable, and lots of fun!”

“This was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Niseko. No point going all the way to Japan to stay on the groomed slopes - so definitely go for some backcountry skiing to experience the amazing powder Niseko has to offer. Our guide was friendly, enthusiastic and genuinely happy to show us around and ski with us and was great at spotting good runs to take us to while taking some photos of us skiing. You're pretty much in charge of your day - so if you'd rather climb more and ski less (or vice versa) or ski more and take less photos (and vice versa) completely up to you!”
