SNOW EXPO'S AUSTRALIA

Thank you to everyone who visited us at the Brisbane and Sydney Snow Expo's held last month. They were both successful events and it was great to catch up with everyone about the epic powder days we had last season. As always we love giving the most comprehensive information about ski packages to Japan. We are passionate about skiing and boarding in Japan's powder and have the experience to deliver an unbeatable holiday experience to our guests.

TOURS AND CONFERENCES

Snowave are the exclusive organisers to a variety of guided tours and conferences this year. Our escorted tours include the always popular Powder Tour 30 January - 11 February 2009 along with the exciting Big Air Tour 3 - 15 February 2009. The Hokkaido Trauma Conference continues to grow and will be held in Rusutsu Resort again from 23-31 January 2009. We also have the Niseko Imaging Conference from 7-15 February 2009.

SKIJAPAN SNOWAVE UPDATE
Snowave Travel exclusively uses the premium ground services of SkiJapan.com - Hokkaido's most experienced inbound tour operator with offices in Niseko, Rusutsu and Furano. Over the coming months you will see a change in Snowave's branding to SkiJapan Snowave. This is to reflect the streamlined distribution channels of our products and services. You will still receive the best service from our experienced staff and be able to pre-arrange your entire ski travel package at the best possible prices.

TRAVEL TIP
A quick travel tip to ensure you have a seamless hassle free holiday to Japan: Airlines have strict rules when it comes to correct name details on air tickets. They can refuse to check you in on your flight or charge you for reissue fees. To avoid this, when booking airfares with us be sure to give naming information exactly how it is displayed on your passport.
