Niseko


"The powder is the lightest and driest powder I have ever ridden in. Don't let the powder put you off. If you are new to the experience, we have some fantastic ski/board instructors & backcountry guides that we can personally recommend. They will have you skiing and riding the powder in no time. Mix this with the modern accommodation, great choice of restaurants and cozy bars you will see why myself and previous clients are going back for more!"
