Niseko private powder guiding
mat smith replied to Hornster's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
No problem, once the PM's are back up will send through the info. I can tell ya that the guiding i am refering to is backcountry, some areas accessed by lift or others by good old hard work. Depends on the type of trip you want to do. cheers -

The weather in Niseko
mat smith replied to JuniorStubbs's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
Should see some snow up top, then looking good for some lower falls 31st - 1st. At this stage keep an eye on 6th/7th Nov for first touch at the base. Well thats how things are looking on the charts ATM, things will probably change. I mainly use this CLICK Japan is at the top, if the black line extends over with red, then basically its on cheers Oh, use the tabs at the bottom to advance days. -
