With some mixed and challenging weather on our February Powder Experience week, our crew were just wee bit happy to see the 30cms of fresh at Moiwa on the last day of our week.

Niseko Moiwa is a favourite among our staff here at Powder Detours. It’s small and personal, with fun rolling terrain, easy-to-access side-country bowls, and almost no lift lines.
Moiwa is also where a very important figure in the area known as Shinya-san hangs out. Shinya is the head of the Niseko Avalanche Institute and has been running the backcountry gate system in Niseko since it began. He even has a run named after him over in Hanazono – Legend of Shinya!

That’s the end of our Powder Detours for 2011/2012. Thanks to all who joined in – we hope you had an amazing time playing in the amazing Hokkaido powder.
Keep an eye on our Facebook page for more photos – coming very soon!
