“We have been fortunate to grow a team who share that same passion and who put in the hard work required to deliver for our guests every day. I want to thank every member of our team, our partners in Japan who provide the services we are proud to offer, and the many clients who return to us year after year. They have all played a part in making Japan Ski Experience what it is today.” – Lindsay Colbert, Managing Director.

This recognition follows a series of awards in 2025, including World’s Best Ski Travel Agent to Japan at the World Ski Awards, Japan’s Best Ski Travel Agent at the Ski Asia Awards and Best Family Friendly Travel Operator at the Little Steps Asia Awards.
