The Best Guides!
Juan and Sofía are the best guides! Very knowledgeable on terrain around Niseko and ensuring a fun but safe experience. They both helped plan out my proposal with my fiancé and helped make the day one I will never forget. Sofia's photos from the day came out amazing. Highly recommend!

Amazing!
Our guide Facu from Niseko Zen did an excellent job considering the challenging snow conditions; he always managed to find great runs with untouched snow.
Facu is someone you can truly rely on when it comes to safety and finding the best lines on the mountain.
I would highly recommend Facu to anyone looking for demanding yet fantastic skiing.

Niseko sidecountry
My sister and I skied a wonderful day with our guide, Flor Carrasco. We were pumped to cruise around to multiple zones of Niseko side country with her and the flow of the day was perfect. Flor had excellent knowledge of the area, was super fun to ski with, and we loved ripping turns with her. She even helped us with some beta on other ski days/plans we had; amazing guide and ski day all around! We love Flor!!
