We had 5 days of lift assisted backcountry. Our excellent guide (Mattias) from Black Diamond picked us up each morning at 8 am and drove us to the place where the snow was best pending last nights snowfall. Everything worked really well. We visited Kiroro, Rusutsu, Niseko and Kukosai. We can give our best recommendation of this trip. It provides very efficient powder access to the best tracks in each local area. Our guide was truly excellent - strong focus on safety and on providing us the best possible powder experience. In addition he showed us local restaurants and much more.
