Hi everyone , can anyone recommend a reputable BC guiding outfit that is based out of Asahikawa. I will be there for two weeks in late January and would like to do a BC trip if possible.I know of only Hokkaido Powder Guides(unfortunately they are Furano based)and may not be able to meet my needs at the moment. All info greatly appreciated

Cheers guys , thanks for the info

Hi everyone , I'm in the midst of planning a 2 week trip in Jan 08. Other than what I have read on wikiski and btw , I was looking for some first hand reports on this resort. Looks like I will have 12 days of boarding up my sleeve , is that too long a time to spend solely at this resort ?? Also from the research I have done so far most of the accomodation options in Asahikawa seem to be hotel based ( not a problem to me ) but I am struggling to find out room rates etc... Any comments or suggestions are much appreciated Cheers

from the other direction

Yes and no , personally I find swapping lenses out to be a real pain , but that all depends on the design of the goggle and the laziness of the person. I have two pairs of Smith Fuse regulators. First pair has a sensor mirror lens (very light blue with a VLT of 70% ) which I use for flat light or snow days , the second pair are a rose/copper combo ( VLT of 36% )these are for mixed to sunny conditions. I always carry the spare in my bacpack just in case the conditions change suddenly.
