Niseko Backcountry Tours

Have an expert guide you to secret powder stashes, hidden terrain and teach you how to use important backcountry equipment like probes and avalanche beacons. Combine the best powder skiing of your life with an educational experience that will continue paying dividends for the rest of your ski career. A variety of mountains are available to ensure great weather conditions and the type of terrain you’re looking for. We recommend Hanazono Powder Guides (HPG):

HPG offers both group and private backcountry guided tours, all commencing from its base of operations at Hanazono 308.
