Guided Group Tours

Joining a Guided Group gives you the opportunity to ride the best terrain right away. Usually it takes a long time to get familiar with any specific resort. Our guides have spend many seasons in japan and know where to find the best snow on any day. Besides that they’ll show you where the best apres is, the best onsens and are on hand to help you with whatever you need.

Guided tours are also a great opportunity to ride with likeminded people.

You will be in very capable hands throughout the week with our guides. Our mountain guides have spent several seasons in Japan so know the area well and will be able to show you around all the best spots. Our guides will also be around to greet you on your arrival and be around to help you with anything you need when back at the hotel.

The Japan Powder Tour  is open to everyone, whether you’re traveling solo, with mates or with your family. The Powder Tour is most suitable for intermediate and advanced skiers and snowboarders so you don’t get left behind with the guiding. After the half day of riding with the guides you can keep riding with the rest of the group or do your own thing, the choice is yours.

In advance of the tour we collect information relating to guests skiing/boarding levels, and the type of terrain they prefer to tackle. This information assists us in allocating guests into sub groups of usually 6-8 people. We aim to have guests of similar ability teamed together to maximise the experience on the slopes.

Our guides make calls on which resorts will be visited based on the best conditions. Calls can be made even the night before if there’s some unexpected weather conditions to be taken advantage of. Our rest day is also decided by the guides based on the weather conditions.

All the rooming is shared with other members on the tour. We aim to allocate rooms to guests of similar ages and genders. Breakfast is also included daily at all accommodations. Wifi is also freely available at all hotels/lodges.

Approximately 2-4 weeks prior to your departure you will receive detailed information on your trip which includes your travel vouchers, airline and airport transfer information (if applicable), information on the respective resort, etc. You will also have access to our 24hour emergency number if for any reason something goes wrong in your journey to the respective resort.

We can also add respective flights, corresponding airport transfers, Japan Rail Passes, etc. If you don’t have your own skis/snowboards or just prefer to travel without, we can arrange rentals in resort. And perhaps you would like to extend your stay at the resort, or explore a bit more of Japan such as Tokyo, Osaka or Kyoto, your consultant can assist with this and recommendations.
