Niseko 1 Day Tours
Our
experienced, multi-lingual guides will show you the best of
our home resort. Given the size of the Niseko area, the number
of bowls and often poor alpine visibility, this is a highly
valuable tour that will help you get off to the right start
as soon as you hit the slopes.
If weather permits and your crew is up to the challenge we
will lead you through the back bowls ending the perfect day
at a remote hot spring.
7900Yen/person/day (lift ticket not included)

speed lifts accessing some of the best gladed powder skiing
in Hokkaido. Black Diamond Tours will pick you up from your
accommodation bright and early to make the short half hour
drive over to Rusutsu in time to catch first lifts. Our guides
will make sure you stay ahead of the curve all day long.

Multi- day Tours
If you’re looking for the ultimate powder adventure,
BD private tours will customize a multi-day trip to suit.
We have hand picked the best resorts in Hokkaido and will
take you and your crew on the road trip of a lifetime, riding
in style between resorts and ensuring maximum ppsi (powder
per square inch).
We will pick you and your private group up directly from the
airport in one of our 4WD vehicles and take you straight to
the best powder snow in the world.
Highlight mountains on the island that you can expect to see
include Sapporo Kokusai, Furano, Tomamu, Sahoro, Kurodake,
Asahidake, Kamui Ski Links, Rusutsu and of course the resorts
of Niseko. If you don`t recognize these names, it`s because
very few people know about them and even fewer know where
to go at these resorts. We can assure you though, that the
skiing quality and snow conditions are second to none. Please
check out our resorts
page for a brief description of these mountains
Also for those interested, your guide is a certified avalanche
professional and we have all of the necessary avalanche safety equipment to
permit safe backcountry travel and shuttle aided back side
runs from many of the resorts. Please indicate level of backcountry interest and experience when contacting us.
Please contact us with details of your group size and the
desired length of your trip. We customize each trip to meet
your individual needs and will work with you to set up the
best possible plan.

Sapporo Nights
All
right, so not strictly a ski tour 
but let’s face it,
you’re in Japan and a trip to the northern metropolis
of Sapporo should be high on your list.
We leave Niseko at 6pm, stop by Rusutsu (if we need to pick
up guests) check in at the hotel in Sapporo at 8pm, and begin
a pubcrawl at TK6, Sapporo's newest sports bar. Here we will
give you a map of recommended bars and directions back to
your hotel. The rest of the night is up to you. There are
over 5000 bars in Sapporo's party district Susukino…you
do the math.
9900Yen/person (includes transport and 1 night accomm. in Sapporo)
Powder Option
Add 6500Yen
If you manage to shake off the hangover in time, we offer
an optional half day skiing at one of Sapporo’s excellent
local ski hills. Departure from the hotel is 7:30am, ensuring
first lifts and fresh tracks for all who make the effort.
If you can’t get out of bed; sleep in, then take a stroll
around town to pick up a few souvenirs and see the city with
a little more clarity.We regroup at the hotel at 2pm and head
back to Niseko to rest up for more epic powder.
