Description

On this 2 day group trip, you will have the chance to enjoy a day of backcountry skiing in Niseko and a day of backcountry skiing down Mount Yotei (1,898m). Each one of these days offers a completely unique experience. Also, you do not even have to enjoy the days back to back either. Instead, you can space them out if you want.

Niseko is a beautiful ski resort area on the island of Hokkaido. The powder, slopes and overall skiing experience is amazing. And on the backcountry day trip, you will get to explore the area, as we will forego the use of lifts. Instead, we will hike our way to the top of the descents, which take place on the peaks in the area. Those peaks include Mount chise, Mount Iwao, and Mount Iwao.

For the skiing down Mount Yotei, the descent is a thrilling, but challenging adventure. There is all kinds of different terrain on this trip, as you will be skiing through trees as well as in the open, often in deep powder, with 30° slopes. As a result, participants on this trip should be experienced off-piste skiers, and should also be physically fit.

This is a great trip because it’s really two trips in one. For people looking to ski just outside of the resorts, enjoying long descents of up to 300 metres, as well as hikes through beautiful landscape, Niseko has you covered. And for people who want the difficult, but rewarding experience of skiing down one of the most beautiful mountains in the country, the Mount Yotei day trip has you covered as well.

So if you are looking for a fun filled 2 day skiing experience, send me a request, join a group, and have a great time.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
