Today's tour was difficult because of the variable weather conditions, and heavy powder snow. Even so, our guests from Idaho USA were all smiles at the end of the day.

Low cloud and wet snow made our route planning more important than normal. After a hike up it was the start to unexpected good turns for the rest of the day. The trees of Nitonupuri proved to be the best place to ski on the day.

It seems it hasn't been snowing much on the west coast USA this season.

Another great reason to come to Niseko. We always have snow...lots of it.

Today's Mt Yotei tour took our guests up the Niseko Hirafu WWN face of Mt Yotei until just below the tree line at around 1200m.

After the long approach from the closest carparking area, we began our hike up into the foothills through mature grow forests at the base of Mt Yotei.

With this aspect and the sheltered slopes we were able to find fresh snow in the trees to keep everyone happy.
