Do people tend to carry avi gear on inbound powder runs?

Would you say that there is more than enough powder sliding to be had "in-bounds" in Niseko which I suppose is technically on-piste as opposed to off-piste where we would find most of the powder sliding in Europe?

From Surrey just outside London.

This will be my first time skiing in Japan (Niseko) after having heard and reading stories of amazing powder. However, I haven't heard very much about people carrying transceivers, shovels and probes when skiing off-piste in Niseko.
My question is; are there not many avalanches in Niseko?

Thanks. Where is J-First?

Anyone know how much a full ski tune / service costs in Niseko (Higashiyama or Hirafu)?
Please and thank you.

Excellent point! It is so easy to strap on your transceiver, set it to transmit and forget about it for the rest of the day.
Niseko may not get many avalanches but they DO still occur.
