Chasing Powder In Niseko

19 July, 2017 Matt Kaiser

Powder snow is one of the reasons why Niseko is considered a snow lover's paradise around the globe.

Niseko is a world top 10 snow resort, in part due to its famed light and dry powder snow and easy access to it straight off the lifts. Powder hounds or powder first timers can get into the deep stuff without hiking or helicopters.

This video follows a keen group of boarders as they arrive in Japan, work their way to Niseko and ride some amazing snow.

We look forward to seeing you here in Niseko this winter.

If you are looking to get into Niseko's backcountry for the first time, we highly recommend that you look into going with a touring company. There are many powder guiding companies to choose from and going with trained professionals is the best way to ensure you have a fun and safe time in the snow!
