No, these trips must reach a minimum number of guests in order to run. Please wait to finalize travel plans until evoTrip confirms your trip has met the minimum number of guests to run.

You are responsible for booking your own travel and you must meet your group at Narita Airport outside Customs in Terminal 1 by 12pm/noon on Sunday (Day 1 of your trip itinerary).

Yes. If you have a roommate request, please let us know. By default, we will place two people of the same gender in a room with two beds.

Yes, though single rooms are first come, first served and subject to availability. Please note an additional cost (known as a single supplement) of $980 will apply. Please check in with Customer Care before booking if this will determine your participation.

If you are a solo traveler that would like a roommate, we do our best to pair you with another solo traveler of the same gender. However, if no roommate option is available and you must be assigned your own room, you will be asked to pay 50% of the single supplement to cover the cost of your room. In this case, as the single supplement is $980, you would be liable for $490 extra. Please note roommates are paired on a first come, first served basis, so the earlier you book the less likely you will be "forced" into a single room!

We recommend this trip for intermediate and above skiers and riders, with select departures (noted below each date) being designated for advanced and expert only skiers and riders. More specifically, the intermediate and above tour dates are best suited to skiers and snowboarders who feel comfortable on most blue runs, and can link turns in powder snow, can make a variety of turn shapes and can traverse, hold speed and are adventurous when skiing and snowboarding the entire mountain. Familiarity with riding off-piste is highly beneficial on this trip. For intermediate and above departures, a mix of skill levels (including advanced and above) are welcome. Please reach out to [email protected] if you have any questions about ability level.

You will be sent a recommended packing list after booking. Some people bring more than one snowboard / skis (one for powder, one for all-mountain), this is not a requirement. Bringing two pairs of skis can potentially put your bag over weight and be expensive.

Japan has an incredible luggage delivery service (Black Cat) that you can take advantage of for about $50. If you arrive early, you can send your snow gear to the lodge from the airport. If you are staying longer, you can have your luggage delivered to the airport ahead of your arrival. We can give you all the information to coordinate this.

Yes! For meals provided by the lodge/evo (breakfasts and one dinner), there will be options available. Gluten Free: It is difficult to avoid gluten in Japan, but it is possible. We recommend that you bring your own soy sauce and some snacks, as you will eat a lot of rice dishes. Being a vegetarian in Japan is easy. We will provide you with a card that will alert restaurants/grocers to your needs and most locations will be accommodating. Halal & Kosher while there are a limited number of Halal and Kosher restaurants in Japan, there will be many meal options available by avoiding meat. For all dietary restrictions, we recommend that you bring some snacks just in case.

Yes. The primary activity on these trips is skiing/snowboarding; however, there may be options if you or your loved one does not currently participate.
