Japan Snow Tour
Mountain Ventures is a tour company who are passionate about providing unforgettable snow adventures combining culture and amazing powder runs whilst improving your skiing and snowboarding along the way.
Mountain Ventures instructor/guides all have formal instructor qualifications relevant to the various levels of skiers and boarders they will be coaching.
The Japan Snow Tour is based in beautiful
Myoko-Kogen Japan where the average snowfall is a crazy 13+ metres per season. In Myoko you can immerse in real Japanese culture and gain experiences unlike the bigger and more popular Japanese resorts where westerners turn up in droves.
Whether you are an absolute beginner or a more advanced skier or snowboarder, you will be grouped accordingly with one of the instructor/guides to take your skiing and riding to the next level whilst having maximum fun.
For all abilities, you will head to various ski areas around Myoko Kogen and other relatively close resorts with your instructor/guide so you get to experience a variety of ski areas and hidden stashes of untracked POW.
You can expect to be hanging out with a variety of like-minded people, solo travellers, couples and groups (average ages of 25 to 55 but if you are outside of this age range it doesn't mean you aren't welcome). The minimum age for these tours is 18.
Each tour date has a maximum of 16 guests, however the maximum group size you will ski/board in is 6 guests to an instructor/guide.
Mountain Ventures personnel will be available 24 hours a day to make sure you have the most epic time possible.
