３Days Niseko/Mt. Yotei Spring Ski Touring

The Niseko/Mt. Yotei areas are famous for having the best powder skiing on the planet in winter.  But there is something about spring time for skiers that really cannot be missed!

I will take you there for ski touring to experience the joy of exploring this area in the beautiful springtime which not many people are fortunate enough to do during this season.

In March, there are higher chances of clear weather days and you can enjoy backcountry skiing. You don’t have to worry about trail breaking and the risks of surface avalanches are significantly lower.

The Spring charm of these mountains means that with longer and warmer days, you can travel longer distances with long ridge traverses to other mountains and enjoy longer ski days. Also you will be able to take longer breaks and be more relaxed whilst overlooking the beautiful mountain scenery.For those climbing Mt. Yotei, the longer hours for climbing in spring significantly increase the chance of a successful summit. But if the upper part of the mountain is frozen and icy you only can go to 70-80% of the full height. Please respect my decisions and judgements on whether to summit (or not) so as to avoid unnecessary risk.I will take you to the best ski touring that Niseko has to offer in Spring time! Please come and enjoy Niseko’s superb backcountry ski trails with me!
