“My wife and I have been on the powder trip twice now. Fab has awesome knowledge of the Japanese slopes, and offers some great safety precautions and advice if you chose to go off piste for the deep powder and tree runs. It’s really awesome being taken to resorts that have less people, and more powder. Fab will also will take the tour to the resorts that have have the best conditions (the powder) for that day. I have been in the knee deep powder many many times all over Northern Hokkaido, on these powder trips. Very stoked, also did I mention the powder? Arigato gozaimasu! ”
