The Setting

Only twenty-five minutes from the resort. A world away from it.

This is snowmobile-accessed backcountry skiing and snowboarding in Niseko, untracked as far as you can see. Open powder fields, rolling terrain, spaced trees and natural features.

You ride up tandem behind your guide. No lift queues, no touring gear, no skinning. The sled does the climbing, so you save your legs for the descent.

You link six to eight runs of cold Hokkaido snow, each line chosen by a guide who reads the terrain to put you in the best of it.

Why This Day

Access, terrain, and the mountain to yourselves

The Access

The sled does the climbing. You link run after run of cold powder without a lift queue or a metre of skinning, legs saved for the snow.
