Why Powder Week?

We designed Powder Week as a stepping stone for riders to get introduced to off-piste and backcountry riding in a safe environment as a group. Get to meet riders of higher ability levels and push yourselves to explore deeper into the backcountry. Prepare yourself to experience the most incredible terrain and powder Niseko has to offer.

What riding ability is required?

High intermediate to advanced riding levels are required to participate in Powder Week. As we will be exploring mainly off-piste and backcountry terrain, a minimum proficiency handling black runs comfortably and confidently is required. If you are uncertainty on your riding level, please contact us for an analysis before signing up.
