I want to say a huge thanks for the professional service Deep Powder Snow Holidays did in organising our Niseko experience. We all had an unforgettable time riding amazing powder and everything went so smoothly - couldn’t of asked for more!”

“2015”

Hi Gemma. I recently booked a ski trip over Christmas and New Years with you to Hakuba, Japan. I just wanted to write and say thank you as we had a fantastic time. All our accommodations were exactly what we were looking for and in great locations. Lift passes were easy to activate and very interchangeable at a great variety of mountains, which we happily explored. And our flights worked out perfectly. This is the second time I have travelled to Japan with your company and I would highly recommend it. You did a great job! Thanks very much.

“2015”

Hi Dale. Just wanted to thank you for arranging our recent Furano Ski trip and Tokyo short stay. As always it wasn’t long enough, but we had no trouble following your instructions, and the Hotels we stayed in were excellent. I will pass on your name to others who may wish to travel overseas. Thanks Again Debbie & Gary

“2015”

Hi Gemma. Just a short note to let you know that the three weeks in Japan was fantastic. The snow was brilliant, food and people likewise. The organisation of the trip was faultless. Flights (including an upgrade), accommodation, transfers all seamless, easy travel. So a big thank you again from Mark, Zak and myself. Yes we will almost certainly be visiting Hokkaido in January/February 2016 so I will be in touch. I met a number of Deep Powder customers and they all appreciate your work. So thanks again to you and those who assist you. Thanks John, Mark and Zak

“2015”

Hi Dale. Just got back from our holiday from Japan and wanted to thank you for all you did to make this a memorable trip that ran smoothly. We all had an awesome time and got some blue bird days and some great pow days. In particular the Tokiwaya Ryokan was exactly what we were looking for – very traditional and old world. (the breakfasts were a challenge – but again we wanted traditional!! Regards to you and your team. Peter

“2016”

Hi Bree. Just returned from a fantastic trip to Rusutsu with our extended family. Everything went swimmingly well. We thought the resort (facilities, accommodation, food and beverage options) and the skiing was brilliant. Very nice to have more of a Japanese experience. Snow was amazing and lots of great runs with 3 mountains! Thank you for doing such a great job with the bookings for such a large group. Your advice was spot on! Kind regards Sally

“2016”

Bree, We have just returned from our Japan Ski Trip which was amazing. We can’t thank you enough for all the organising that was carried out by DPT, the trip went like clockwork with all flights, accommodation, transfers as per instructions provided by Deep Powder. Overseas ski trips can often be quite stressful with transfers and luggage etc. but this one was a well organised and pretty well stress free trip. We did some amazing skiing at both Niseko and Rusutsu and the Japanese are just the most amazing people. This was our first trip with DPT but most certainly won’t be the last and I am sure we will be recommending you to our family, friends etc. Once again a big thank you from Carolyn, myself, Anne & Ken and we will see you again soon. Kindest Regards Grant.

“2016”

Hi Deep Powder (Dale, Naomi and all) First day back at work from a FANTASTIC trip to Japan. We had a BALL!!! Just want to drop you a note to say thanks so much for all the suggestions & bookings, the selection of venues was great. Had a great time at both High Mount in Hakuba & Kyomachiya Ryokan Sakura – Honganji in Kyoto. Staff at both were just delightful to say the least. Also Rhythm in Hakuba were just out standing in their service. So a BIG thanks once again, we’ll certainly sing the praises of all. Col & family.

“2016”

Hi Tracey and Cara. Just returned and would like to say thanks for everything. All arrangements/transfers went like clockwork. No glitches. Hotel Weisser Hof Happei was great place to stay. Located near heaps of good restaurants we were able to walk close by for dinner. Weisser-Hof is within easy access to all bus stops to various resorts, and a short stroll to Happo-one lifts, and very close to the info centre. Their onsen is superb, accessing the warm thermal springs of Hakuba. A good treat after a day on the hill. Cheers John

“2017”

Hi Dale and Alana. Firstly thank you both for your assistance both leading up to, and during our stay in Niseko. We had an amazing time, and will certainly look to be going back. The accommodation was perfect for our family, and we would certainly look to stay at Kisetsukan again. I also just wanted to thank you again for being able to assist getting transport from Hakodate. This was a tricky request (given the time and location), but being able to wake up on Christmas day at our accommodation made two small girls very happy and two parents very relieved.......so thank you for your assistance in contacting the transport company and making this happen. Cheer both - hope the rest of the season is good for you. Chris

“2017”

Dear team at Deep Powder. Just wanted to thank you all for excellent organisation of our trip to Niseko. We had no hitches to complain about, and the transfers worked very smoothly. The snow was great and we are happy to have come back with no injuries. Best wishes Geoff and Pam

“2017”

Hi Kathryn, The Robertsons are all back home after our fabulous trip to Japan. We want to thank you sincerely for helping us with all the arrangements. From Week 1 with all the family in Rusutsu through to Week 6 with David in the Hakuba Valley and all the special times in between it was fantastic. The accommodation at each location was ideal, the transfers all went to plan and the itinerary played out perfectly. Once again thank you and we look forward to our next trip with Deep Powder. Regards Jane and David

“2017”

Hi Dale, Thanks again for organising our recent ski holiday in Japan. We loved the Nosawa Onsen village and had a great time in Hakuba. We had amazing snow (3m in a week) and loved it. All travel arrangements went to plan. We recommend the Mominoki Hotel as it was a great place to stay and so close to everything. I hope all was great in Niseko. Best wishes to you and Peter and families, Lee

“2017”

Hi Kathryn, I have been meaning to call since we returned from Japan but I just wanted to say the most enormous thank you for all you did to organise our skiing trip. We all had the most amazing time!! My Dad, my husband, of course the children and me! The hotel was fabulous, the snow amazing and Niseko was really great fun despite the growth. If there is any way I can say thank you by rating Deep Powder Snow Holidays or anything you would like me to do, please let me know. Many thanks again for all your efforts! Amelia

“2018”

Hi Dale, We have just returned from our trip to Japan. Just wanted to let you know we had the best time, sooo much snow. The place we stayed at was awesome. In fact everything was awesome. It all ran so smoothly and I couldn't praise your organization highly enough. So thank you very much for making our first experience in Japan an excellent one. We will be going back for sure!!

“2018”

Hi Cara, Firstly may I thank you individually for your assistance and organisation in making us four chaps smile from ear to ear for the last 10 days we were in Japan. Your promptness and knowledge was second to none. The snow was something out of this world - we now know! We almost had 2 meters of snowfall in 2 weeks as we were ducking ropes and shooting through gates. The week was spent knee deep and more often than not we were up to our waist. The trip itself went along without a hitch and all transfers and flights were enjoyable. From being met on arrival to being doted after by the team at the Loft in Hirafu, the service was impeccable. Once again, thanks to Deep Powder Snow Holidays it was the best trip we've ever had. To Craig ,Emma and Alex at The Loft, you went above and beyond- we salute you. Niseko, see you again soon. Regards, Jay and crew.

“2019”

Dale , Just to advise we have returned from our Nozawa ski holiday and had an absolute ball. Without singling out any aspect all your recommendations worked out extremely well. Please recommend the boys at "Shirakaba ski rental" (at top of travelator under Mos Burgers ), they looked after us really well. Thank-you for all your assistance. Richard

“2019”

To all at Deep Powder especially Dale. Thankyou for organising such a great holiday for us. The Accommodation, flights and transfers were terrific, and the last minute changes were handled effortlessly. You even managed to arrange 30cm of fresh powder for our first day. We will definitely use you again, and will recommend you to our friends. Thanks again Peter.

“2019”

Hi Dale, I just wanted to let you know that we had an amazing time in Japan – the hotels you booked for us couldn’t have been better! The Goryukan was in an excellent location in Hakuba and was just the right mix of Japanese and Western so we felt like we were having an authentic Japanese experience! And the Shiba Park hotel was great – we loved that they offered a choice of Japanese craft lessons every morning! The whole holiday was fabulous and we will be going again. Thank you for all your help arranging everything. Tricia

“2020”

Hi Dale, I would like to thank you for an excellent ski trip to Kiroro and Rusutsu recently with the Duxbury group. We enjoyed staying at the Kiroro Tribute Hotel and the Westin Hotel in Rusutsu. All of your communications by email and instructions were abundantly clear and all of the transfers were easy to find, and the timing was impeccable. Thank you for your hardwork and fabulous service. I am sure you will face lean times due to COVID-19, but we hope you and all of your staff stay safe and make it through this crisis so we can book with you again. Best wishes and kind regards, Marg & Chris

“2020”

Hi Dale, Recently back from 3 weeks in Japan, first with the mates, then with the family. Trip was great, everything went smoothly, accom at Niseko excellent and club med amazing BIG thanks! Dave

“2020”

Hi Dale, Just wanted to say thanks for Deep Powder’s booking on our recent Hakuba ski trip. Everything went smoothly from coach transfer Haneda to Hakuba and the Mominoki was wonderful! The Hotel staff were wonderful and we ended up with bar staff buying us a farewell drink and lots of hugs goodbye! Room was very good - huge bed - best on our trip for Japan and Canada! It is a delightful shabby chic decor, and really was so welcoming to stay at, and with Rhythm Sport next door for hire etc., and shuttles from Hotel and adjacent bus stops, it was easy to get around. Bathroom was fun - small but introduced us to Toto bidets - we are including in our new house build. Food was excellent and thank you for the breakfast upgrade - really appreciated. The buffet at night is good for unadventurous families, but the other 2 restaurants were very good. The Taiphoon in Hakuba also owned by Mominoki is a must - we went twice. Great Asian fusion and the two brothers (Chef / Manager) are great fun. Even though nature did not provide the usual Japow everything else still made our first time to Japan a 10/10. Arigatogozaimashita Brack-San (Steve and Margaret).

“2023”

Hi Dale, Had an awesome trip – everything went fantastic! (except the night it rained in Niseko) There were 30 of us at Wild Bills 1 night!! (all deep powder tourists) Thanks for all your help. Momiji residences at Furano are a great size and location – especially 3 bed with 3 ensuites, Kind Regards Andrew

“2023”

Hi Dale, Just wanted to thank you and the team at Deep Powder Tours. My son and I had a fantastic holiday. Your accommodation and location suggestions were great. 8 fantastic days of skiing/snowboarding. I had a bit of trouble finding the bus check in area at the airport but everything went well as there was plenty of time to get through Customs before we had to check in. We are planning to go again as soon as we can afford it. Moegi could do better with their breakfast selection but no complaints. I think I have convinced my husband to come with me next time. Hopefully I won’t be as time constrained and can fit in a few days in Tokyo too. Kind regards, Melissa

“2024”

Hi Dale,Just a quick message to say thank you. The accommodation you recommended in Niseko was perfect for us - plenty of space, it was all that we needed, and we could walk to everything! The whole itinerary was seamless, transfers were easy too. Thanks so much for all your last minute help. For me, it was worth the stress! The snow was fantastic, and continued to fall throughout our week there. It was perfect.Thanks again, I will definitely recommend you to anyone looking to ski Japan. Have a great day!

“2025”

Hi Dale,I just wanted to send you a note to say a huge thank you for all your organisation and coordination of our trip to Japan.The flights went really well and our time in Naeba was really successful. Thank you for recommending Naeba, I would DEFINITELY use it to take a school group next time. The accommodation was very comfortable - warm and cosy with every room having ensuite bathrooms and separate toilets. The coordination and support of the Prince Hotel on arrival was really excellent. Thanks again for all your help, and hopefully I will begin organising the next trip with you in about 12 months time. Warm regards Snowsports Coordinator Macarthur School

“2026”
