The guides were outstanding—knowledgeable, experienced, and clearly passionate about what they do. They took us into some amazing terrain that we never would have found on our own, all while making safety a top priority. Their ability to read conditions and tailor each day to the group made a huge difference and gave us total confidence out there.

What really set the experience apart was the personal touch. It never felt like a generic, one-size-fits-all tour. Instead, it felt customized to our group, our pace, and what we wanted to get out of the trip. That level of attention made it feel special from day one.

The full-service approach was also incredible—everything was seamless from the slopes all the way back to our front door. Transportation, logistics, gear support—every detail was handled, which made the entire trip stress-free and enjoyable.

Overall, it was an amazing experience that exceeded expectations in every way. We would absolutely do it again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a world-class backcountry snowboarding adventure in Japan.. thank you thank you thank you… You will see us all soon.

Thanks to Chadd and his whole team for an amazing experience . Our guide Andy metnus at our place bright and early each morning to transport us to the mountain. They were diligent with providing the right safety gear, making sure we knew how to operate gear, and making sure that all gear was in working order. On the mountain, I felt like we were just skiing with one of our boys who had all the knowledge of the sick lines and where to take us to find the best stashes. Andy was also pro at taking pics without disrupting the flow of our riding. Kate joined us on the second day to do some videoing, amd she was another absolute pleasure to have around. She’s another absolute ripper and skilled photographer. I can’t recommend Sea and Summit collective enough. Worth every penny and a very reasonable price at that

My friends and I (5 Males in their 50’s), all ripping snowboarders from the Vail Valley in Colorado,USA, had high expectations going to Japan. Having fun and ripping sweet Pow was our number one priority. Chadd (the owner) and his team at Sea Summit Media were great for the following reasons.
1. Safety was paramount, our crew were outfitted with high end avalanche gear and beacons all checked in the beginning of each day.
2. They knew all the coolest and dopest lines, whether on or off the resort.
3. They took professional grade pics and movies of our team.
4. They are super cool, high vibed people, had lots of fun.
Highly recommend!!

Sea & Summit Media provided my family of 7 skiers (age 23-60) with guides for three days in Niseko. We were able to navigate all four mountains with plenty of off-piste skiing that matched the vast range of abilities and interests in our group. We were able avoid crowded areas and take advantage of great dining facilities each day. Our primary guide, Yugi Fujiyama, was hospitable and helpful by monitoring our energy levels during the day. He is also a professional photographer who captured great moments of our once-in-a-lifetime family vacation.

Billy was excellent at finding good opportunities for shots and knew the mountain like the back of his hand. Adapted well with a group of mixed abilities and made sure we were all safe and having fun. Took some absolutely epic pics as well.

It wasn't the perfect day for a lift-accessed backcountry tour because the top lifts were closed due to high winds, which meant there were long queues at the lower lifts. However, with Advaita's knowledge of the local area, we had some fantastic riding and got some awesome shots. Our only regret was not being able to book another day when the upper lifts were open and the fresh pow came.

Such a great experience with Advaita, he took us all over the mountain, showed us the best spots, in and outside of the gates. He also catered to our abilities and needs on the day seamlessly!
Highly recommend this company!
