Great Week of Skiing and Instruction!

Instructors Jack and Makenzie 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!

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 with HME. 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 Mackenzie, 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 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.

Great Trip with Great Guides

29/02/2020
We just completed the Powder Triangle Tour and had a wonderful time. We were a group of 5 accompanied by two guides, Jack and Mackenzie, who were absolutely outstanding. Three of us were powder hounds and Jack found us fresh powder at every stop along the way. He provided expert instruction to a group of skiers with limited experience in deep powder. Mackenzie led a smaller group of less experienced skiers who she introduced to powder. We all left the tour feeling that our skiing had improved. They also went out of their way to make sure we enjoyed the tour, taking us to an outdoor onsen, an international festival and other apres-ski activities. Their enthusiasm and expertise made this a truly wonderful trip.

Tohoku Yuki Road Trip

HME’s fantastic and very experienced guide Pete created the perfect road trip of northern Honshu. It was the ideal mix of ski hills, slack-country and backcountry. Given, in general terms, it was a bit of a low tide (for Japan standards), Pete did an excellent job leading us to the pow stashes and staying very current on the weather so that we could modify our itinerary to hit the right spots at the right time; finding fresh turns every day. We followed the storms and reaped the benefits. The small crew of four clients was well paired and we really enjoyed shredding together. Our accommodations were really great and hitting a different onsen every day after riding was delightful. Can’t recommend this tour enough :)

Our group of 6 booked Pete for a private road trip through the north of Honshu and we had a simply amazing time. We scored with the snow, but Pete also knew the best places off the beaten track to take us. It was honestly the trip of a life time and I would recommend this type of trip to any powder hound that likes to explore different areas and try some new areas.
