California Ski Guide’s lodge-based Japanese adventure in the Niseko region is uniquely located in northern islands. It receives a unique mixture of cold Siberian air and warm moisture from the Sea of Japan, resulting in the best powder snow on Earth! Our goal of the Niseko Backcountry Ski Tour is to balance the incredible cultural experience of the northern islands with providing the best possible Japan skiing the area has to offer. With this combination of quality snow in a fantastic place, this tour promises to be a ski trip of a lifetime.
