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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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).
