Niseko Hirafu Avalanche Seminar October 27 2009, 7:50pm via nisekowebzine.com

With the start of the season just around the corner, the crew from Black Diamond Tours is hosting a avalanche seminar at Yuki Bar this Friday – 30th October, 2009. Check out the poster below.

If you are planning on working in Niseko this season and will be in town I highly recommend getting down to the Yuki bar to check this out.

The seminar will include a showing of the award winning documentary “The Fine Line”, a ski and snowboard film produced by the Canadian Avalanche Association. The movie highlights Canada’s worst ever avalanche disaster and the steps that have been taken since then to increase awareness, reduce risk and prevent similar disasters. Guest speaker Tomoaki Fujimura will also give a brief speech about avalanche safety techniques practiced in Canada and Japan. Tomoaki has spent the past 11 years in Canada working as a member of the ski patrol at several resorts, continually working to improve his understanding of snow science and is currently
touring Japan to promote awareness of the hazards associated with backcountry skiing.
