Testimonials
Niseko winter wonderland with Summit
- Richard Sykes
Fantastic enjoyable tour for 6 of us all good boarders and skiers . Makenzie was brilliant and took us all over the mountain off piste down places you would not know was there in Niseko. I Would highly recommend as she made our Japanese experience complete. We decided to get a mountain tour on our 5th day and i'm sure she took us places we had never been the rest of the week.
Great sense of humour and made us laugh all day.
Great Week of Skiing and Instruction!
- Lisa
Instructors were experienced, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, encouraging, and patient. Based on weather and snow conditions, they managed to find great places to ski each day at a variety of resorts. As previously arranged, our group split into two for training, depending on skill level. Instructors then tailored their teaching to each person’s specific needs in each group. It was a wonderful week!
Awesome Hokkaido Powder Tour
- Judi Fordyce
Chest deep in powder at Asahidake
My husband and I can’t say enough good things about the Powder Triangle Tour that we just completed. We were thrilled with the skiing which couldn’t be better than in central Hokkaido. Even with the “worst snow in 40 years”, our guides, Jack and Makenzie, found us plenty of powder. They monitored the weather daily, sometimes making the call of where to go, just before we left. All five of the people in our group felt that our skiing had improved over the 7 days, due in large part to the insightful instruction we were given. Our guides also went out of their way to take us to a local onsen in the mountains, a local festival, and other off-slope activities. They provided excellent customer service. With two guides, the three more advanced skiers could do more off-piste powder, while the two of us with less experience learned to ski powder in the side country. We came back so excited that we can’t wait to book another tour next year.
