Lift Accessed Backcountry Guiding
Are you ready for an unforgettable backcountry experience in Niseko? Rhythm Rides offers lift-accessed backcountry guiding that will take you to remote backcountry terrain accessible via the resort.
Our 6.5 hour tour is designed for intermediate and above riders. Your expert guide will tailor the day to suit your goals, and their local knowledge guarantees you find the best possible lines for the conditions that day.
We’ll take you to the backcountry zones accessible through Niseko’s famous gate system. The terrain can be reached using the lift infrastructure, with even more zones opening up if you’re happy to do a short hike to the peak of Annupuri.
Benefits:
- 6.5 hours (incl. 30 mins lunch break)
- Access BC zones via the Niseko Gate System
- Customised to your goals and the level of your riding!
- Suitable for those with no prior experience in the backcountry.
- Includes avalanche safety equipment (backpack, beacon, shovel, probe) for each guest.
- Upgrade with our Explorer Upgrade and experience the gate systems in neighbouring resorts.
Notes:
Please review our terms and conditions & FAQ for full information before booking.
Important Info
- There is no guarantee that gates will open each day as this is heavily dependent on the weather and conditions. If the gate system is partially open, the tour will still run and your guide will access the best snow and terrain available.
- It is not possible to rearrange the tour due to lack of ‘powder’ – if the lifts are operating, and the gate system is open the tour will run.
- Guiding & touring start/end date is subject to spring snow conditions.
- Suitable for those level five and above – there is no instruction on this tour.
- The minimum age requirement for this tour is 14.
