Niseko Backcountry Ski Rental: Touring Gear and What to Arrange Separately

This is a reservation guide to check the guide, safety equipment, and insurance that need to be prepared separately from the included gear before renting Niseko Touring Skis and Climbing Skins.

Niseko Backcountry Ski Rental: Touring Gear and What to Arrange Separately

If you are planning a touring itinerary in Niseko, preparations differ from a standard ski package. Start by discussing whether you need climbing skins and touring boots, and where to arrange guides and safety equipment. This product is an equipment rental for experienced skiers and is not a reservation for a backcountry tour or training.

Arrange Guiding and Safety Gear Separately

Niseko Official Rules instruct you to follow on-site instructions regarding movement outside the boundaries and entry restrictions. Please check your guide, experience with safety equipment, daily avalanche information, and gate opening status separately. Having equipment does not grant you permission to enter restricted areas, and you must not cross closed gates or ropes.

Free delivery to hotels and apartments in the Niseko area is listed, but you must first confirm the exact name of the accommodation, delivery availability, and the confirmed time. Do not assume that delivery will be available at your desired time to all accommodations.
