“They sorted us out from before we left Aus and made it super easy to sort all the gear we needed and organise the tour.
Not having been to Niseko before, having a guide who rips and knew all the right spots for the conditions, also tailoring them specifically to our group was such a game changer. Our guide was an absolute lord too and it felt like we’d known him for years, right off the rip. Photos were so sick and have gone in forever folder in the hard drive… pro level shots that didn’t slow the riding down at all.
100% booking again for this year to open up more terrain and push our riding in the Niseko area! 🙌🏼 “
