Guides 

When I was in Niseko last January I spent some time with Shinsetsu Guides (see http://www.smguides.net/Welcome.html ). They were great; Niseko didn’t start for me until I went beyond the ropes. Shinsetsu is run by a bloke I know from the Perisher Valley Pro Patrol who lives in Kutchen but who spends 3 months in Australia over winter. His name is Adam Streete.
