Seamus Collins - Febuary 2025 "Google ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"

Fantastic experience with Hokkaido vibe guides Phil Howell and Adam Tudgay in Rusutsu. Led the family through terrific tree runs and provided a great mix of just going downhill fast and tuition that allowed us all to improve our skills fundamentals. No hesitation in fully recommending. Also noting that past experience with the team on more back country oriented adventures which really allow for finding the legendary Hokkaido powder

Ryan Hartman - January 2025 "Google ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"

Had a great time cruising the mountain with Nate in Hirafu. Highly recommend!

Hamish McLean - Feb 2016 "Facebook ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"

Phil had excellent local knowledge, so we were finding fresh lines well into the day and not just at Niseko but also in his secret stashes and Rututsu as well. Useful van as well as a decent sense of humour, great photo skills – oh , and a few decent skiing tips as well!
