Powder in the Clouds Mt Chizenupuri / Nitonupuri Niseko Japan

Today's tour was difficult because of the variable weather conditions, and heavy powder snow. Even so, our guests from Idaho USA were all smiles at the end of the day. Low cloud and wet snow made our route planning more important than normal. After a hike up it was the start to unexpected good turns for the rest of the day. The trees of Nitonupuri proved to be the best place to ski on the day. It seems it hasn't been snowing much on the west coast USA this season. Another great reason to come to Niseko. We always have…

Spring is here Even with Srping upon us, there are still lots of untracked in the Niseko Backcountry. Today the peak gates didn't open, but one of the side gates opened. After a lengthy traverse and a quick check of the snowpack we started our first descent below treeline of the side country from Grand Hirafu ski Resort. Lifts will run until the 1st week of May, so still lots of time to enjoy backcountry touring in the Niseko mountain ranges. Call NOASC to talk to our friendly staff about your next tour. T:0136-23-1688.

With just a dusting of new snow over the last couple of days in the village, skiing conditions have meant groomers are the place to be. That wasn't the case in the Niseko Backcountry, further up in elevation and within the untouched trees of Mt Yotei. Backcountry Guiding since 1993. Call NOASC to enjoy your spring backcountry tour when visiting Niseko. Tel:0136-23-1688

Today's Mt Yotei tour took our guests up the Niseko Hirafu WWN face of Mt Yotei until just below the tree line at around 1200m. After the long approach from the closest carparking area, we began our hike up into the foothills through mature grow forests at the base of Mt Yotei. With this aspect and the sheltered slopes we were able to find fresh snow in the trees to keep everyone happy. Call NOASC to book a tour to the top of NISEKO.

It was a great day to head to Mt Yotei with not a cloud in the sky. With new snowfalls lacking over the last couple of days and the great weather, the snowpack had compacked making the hike up easier and quicker than normal. After a 4 hour hike to the summit, we were tempted to board into the crater, but with an approaching turn in the weather we decided to had down. The first 500m of wind blown crust made the desired GS turns hard to come by, but the sun affected slopes were more forgiving. The surprise of…
