“The guides can seriously ski well and are genuinely good kind fun people. Why wouldn’t anyone want to spend a day with them. Professionally run business with exceptional service. I will always book this company for future trips and if anyone reads this post you should do the same.”

“We've experienced a range of tours with these guys from a Rustutsu side country powder tour, to cat skiing tours and area tours. Their guides are reliable, helpful, educated and fun to be around. The photos we received afterwards were outstanding and are now plastered all over our walls. The memories created and captured were some of the best rides of our life. We are forever grateful for their experience and thorough planning as they provided both our family and friends with experiences that can only be described as unforgettable. These guys know where to find the powder stashes even when it hasn't snowed for awhile. We highly recommend this company and after two years in a row we hope to be back for a third next year. Love the pow!”

“Our guide was fabulous. Incredibly friendly, knowledgable and showed us all the best off piste runs. It was our second day skiing and Jaryd enabled us to get to know Niseko and the ski area so much quicker than if we'd been left on our own. I seriously doubt we'd have found half of the fabulous powder tree runs without him!”
