"Andy was an outstanding guide for our group of five on Yotei-san. The day before, he called us to discuss what to expect, ensure we had the right gear, and go over the equipment and expertise he would bring. We had so much fun that three of us joined him for another four days in Furano, experiencing some of the best skiing of our lives. His deep knowledge of the terrain and safety-first approach made us feel confident throughout the trip. Andy’s professionalism and passion made for an unforgettable adventure. Highly recommend booking Andy for your next ski adventure!"

"First time riding in Japan and Andy was simply a cut above every other guide we skied with. You can't beat his backcountry safety and knowledge, route beta, sidecountry secrets and honestly, just overall vibes, Andy clearly knew his craft and make our trip amazing. I'll be returning to Japan again year after year, and I'll be tapping into Andy every time to help me get my bearing with the current snowpack and to unlock new zones."

"We met Andy in Furano on our first ski trip to Hokkaido. Andy took the time to get to know us as skiers, and worked out what kind of backcountry adventures would work for us as a family with teenage kids. He’s generous with his time and knowledge, and always happy to provide advice on a wide range of things such as restaurants, other fun ski resorts (definitely check out Kamui if you have time!), things to do on days off and other quirks of travelling in Japan. We hope to be back in Hokkaido soon and we will definitely be using Andy’s services again, he has all the skills and professionalism of the bigger guiding outfits but has a very more flexible approach that can easily be tailored to suit the needs of the group. Thank you very much Andy and we hope to see you again soon."

"Andy made our first ski trip to Japan memorable, safe, and full of powder turns. His knowledge of touring and the Hokkaido landscape were evident, which made us feel like we were in good hands from the start. We got to ski some great zones that we wouldn’t have known about without him! Beyond his knowledge, he is simply fun to be around. We never had a dull moment and can’t wait to go back to Japan. We’ll be calling up Andy!"

"Andy provided friendly and expert service to my friends and I as we toured in the Furano area. He had suggestions of where to ski, but also let us be a part of the planning which was much appreciated. He even joined in our pillow laps when viz was low. Would reach out again for future Japan pow ski trips!"

"Skiing with Andy in Hokkaido was super fun. Very knowledgeable about terrain, safety, always finds great lines and spots, but also laid back. You can go easy or push it but you always feel you’re in reliable hands. The experience is well beyond skiing — onsens, great food, chill, and always seems to have cool ans solid skier guest crews joining, so you’re skiing in good company. Everyone talked about coming back. Can’t wait to do this again."
