is it still good if im going in march?

This is by far the best info on backcountry skiing at Niseko which is what most of us flying in care the most about. Could you do more video like this on more resorts, may be even ones not in Hokkaido? I heard while Hokkaido have the best pow, it is mellower compare to central japan. Is that true? Are there any resort backcountry/side country skiing skiing there too?

Is this Niseko official channel?

There is one other rule I'd like to see heeded: No Bogans please.

Unbelievably good video! See you in Feb, Niseko.

does niseko need to worry about avalanche?

You videos are amazing thank you! I would love to send you a tip! You you have a option ?

niseko is shit, over priced, overcrowded. and youre wrong, its not the powder capital of the world.

There have been backcountry deaths every year in Niseko recently. The quality of the riders and skiers going out there has gotten worse too.

Man you are the legend man

pero sapeaste todo ctm

G3 to H2 on to J4 Chess Mate.

The best guide for Niseko to properly enjoy powder! Thank you!!!

bro where is the snow 😢😢😢😢

Hiked to the top the day after this, went down the east face and it was the best snow of my life. Thanks for your video covering the best powder runs, it was very helpful. Great video and I wish you the best

great footage!

I was there that day and it was epic. Your videos really helped me make the most out of niseko, thank you!!

Have you gone up after the springlike condition? Looks like it snowed again right after the warm spell

I was there then - weird week. Some great powder, but also huge queues, ice, crust and too warm. Loved carving at speed up and down the gondola until 7pm every day… magic memories.

I was just there but didn’t make the hike. How long does it take to get back to the top for your second run? Thanks for making these videos 🤙🏽

I'm 34 years in Japan and professional guide in Japan 25 years, Nisseko rules are the most unfair and nonsense rules, when gates are open everyone is going out BC without any equipment, when gates closed are closed for everyone even professional guides whos working field is on the mountains but SKI RESORT PATROL is controlling to go outside the gate, outside the ski resort which isn't their field and they are not qualified for rescue operation performance which they charge. On other hand all promotion videos are shown are outside the gates which are 75% of the time CLOSED. Ski resort is charging all mountain ski passes on bad days too, when its clear the weather is nasty and gates will remine closed ! Cveto/guide

Last year a Russian man was dug up suspected to have perished in an avalanche outside out of the gates in Annupuri /niseko village in Yu no Sawa. Be careful

The avalanche report is currently suspended 😢

You are a legend for sharing this!

this is why I prefer to ski in Europe over the USA and japan , you have true freedom, you make your decision and live or die with the consequences that's the way it should be. Your give information and then make your decisions, not these rules let people make their mistakes. and people should make sure to their abilities

brilliant. thanks

Great video! I didn't get to go through the backcountry during my stay at Niseko but definitely have to try it next time!

Thank you for share this information with us for free

Great job putting this together, a very comprehensive resource. Thankyou for the effort!

I’m there right now! Great video again.

well done. thanks for spreading the word to the people who visit us here in Niseko.

Was just there last week. Thank you so much for all your videos. For anyone reading, Mikaeri Bowl and Higashione get tracked out way slower than their Back Bowl and East Face neighbors that require less traversing to drop in.

Thanks for your videos! My Niseko trip this season was incredible. I could ski safely in this powder paradise becuse of them!

Thanks from Australia for the great videos

Barely any slopes with decent steepness and always super crowded.

Superb video!

We just got back from a week skiing in Niseko. This video is a perfect summation of all the great hiking and powder runs! Excellent summary! Now remove it so no one else finds this out! :).

Not nice for the local community 😩 It take a few years in the mountain for the locals to discover all this spots If we all do this kind of videos and show the best spots the game will be over for everyone I do really hope you really enjoy your likes because looks like soon you will not enjoy this runs anymore

I love this trail but if you drop into Holiday trail too early you get caught on a flat slow green run (and the need to unstrap if you don’t have a waxed board)!! But super fun!

Can you guide? 2.18maybe

Have you posted about Gate Number around Annupuri and Hirafu before? I want to know about Gate Number and route.

Hot dang, awesome work🎉🎉, I think I will pay for the premium version of FATMAP just to see the runs you covered

OMG you are a saint sharing this! Legend!!

🖤

That far right ridge looks so sick! Hope to get to Japow soon!

thanks for sharing man!

You should do this for very mountain, super informative

I think you should also warn about the dangers of going on those runs. When I got injured there it took forever to get any help. Going down the mountain with a broken wrist is no fun at all people.

Why would you do this? Very uncool.
