As a lucky recipient of one of the Hanazono Powder Guides “First Tracks Backcountry Tour” giveaway, recently offered by Snow Japan, I herewith gratefully submit my review of the experience- As a bit of preamble to provide some context and a background report on my trip in general, I was boarding with a group of friends in Niseko from February 10th ~ 19th, my second time visiting this region and once again staying in the Niseko Village area of the resort. We landed on snow mid way through an unusually dry spell which had hit this part of Hokkaido. We experienced some spectacular bluebir

My first day of skiing at Hirafu. Overnight we had about 10-15 centimeters. The snow was pretty dry but hard and icy underneath. I just cruised, taking it easy and getting my legs in. photos by Tai. thanks. -
This site has helped gather much inspiration for our trips over the last few years.. so figured it was time to contribute back. This is our 4th ski trip to the Hokkaido (consecutive years) and this year we’ve decided to rent a car and try get around to a few more resorts as we’ve loved the smaller/quieter resorts we’ve visited on previous trips. A little background. We are snowboarders....from Aus. Both reasonably competent and love the trees and off piste-- but we are not geared up or have the avalanche knowledge for any serious back country riding. So in resort of off piste or

Two weeks till our 2014 trip and the snow stalking and general frothing at the mouth is in full swing. One of the things I always like to do is start reading the area/avi reports to get an idea of what condition the snow pack is is. This was in today's niseko now avalanche report: "The upper sections of Annupuri West Ridge are often glare ice, ice crust and generally very difficult snow conditions. Yesterday Hirafu Patrol rescued a guided tour customer on West Ridge. This is no place for guides to be taking customers. If you want to ride the west face and sidewalls please take the North

Hi all, I've just arrived in Niseko for the season and I'm new to the area. I've brought with me an empty Snowpulse refillable cylinder, foolishly I thought it would be easy to have this refilled but it is proving not to be - from what I've learnt the only options are scuba shops in Sapporo and Otaru. Does anyone have any experience with getting airbag cylinders refilled locally to Niseko? Thanks.

Is Niseko still the best place to ski compared to other European and American ski resorts? Where is the most reasonable place to stay in Hokkaido and ski?

Interested to see how this turns out. Here's the rules as copied from other threads. Each skijo in the Niseko and nearby area has 5 points to start off with. When you vote, you have to vote one resort up one point and one resort down one point. Only 1 vote per person per day. Must vote based on the vote of the previous voter. When a resort is down to 0, it gets deleted. We end up with a winner! OK so here goes: Kiroro: 5 Niseko Annupuri: 5 Niseko Grand Hirafu: 5 Niseko Hanazono: 5 Niseko Moiwa: 5 Niseko Village: 5 Rusutsu: 5

Hello SnowJapan! Now that the USD:JPY is getting somewhat better, some friends and I from the States are thinking about doing a trip to Japan. We're thinking of doing a trip to the Niseko area with some day trips to other areas as well. My big question though is lodging. I've done a solo trip to Niseko before and so lodging was easy to arrange. I stayed at a pension in Hirafu and it worked out great. For a group of 5 - 10 people what would people recommend? Doing a hotel/pension with 2 people to each room? Rent a condo/apartment? A house? Some of the important facts: * Non

Had an awesome month of skiing in Hokkaido. Snow was fantastic through until about the 20th then had a long unseasonal dry,sunny spell all over Hokkaido for about a week....could sometimes still find pockets of good powder, it just required a lot more work. Many great days spent skiing awesome conditions with loads of awesome people from all around the world. Here is a quick vid of one of my favourite days back on Jan 11 at my Rusutsu. To quote Morten, one of the guys I was riding with that day, "That was one of my top 5 days on Earth." http://vimeo.com/59198262 I am back in the N
