YOUR HOSTS
AT THE MOMENT THIS IMAGE WAS CAPTURED WE DIDNΒ΄T KNOW THAT THIS MEANT βTOILETβ IN JAPANESE
We are two weirdos and professional snowboarders, Kjersti Buaas and Chanelle Sladics, hailing from opposite sides of the world. We were attracted to each other for the many passions we share, like outdoor adventures, creating community, an urge to protect our natural playgrounds and living mindful, healthy lifestyles. With the tools, knowledge, and experiences we have gained through our careers as professional athletes, we hope to empower people to integrate long-term commitments and intrinsic motivation towards adopting a healthy lifestyle, self-optimization, wellness, happiness and care for our environment.
A central goal for PRSNT ADVENTURE RETREATS is to inspire as many people as possible to spend time in the elemental outdoors, developing a deeper connection to nature, to each other and to themselves. As traveling nomads for over 15 years, we have seen a lot of incredible places on this earth. To give you the adventure of your life, we have invested a lot of time finding "out of this world" locations for our retreats. We have a feeling that Lofoten and itΒ΄s dramatic landscape have that extra edge that will give you the adventure you are seeking deeply in your soul...

Yes! We accept multiple payment gateways. If you sign up directly on our page we accept many forms of credit card and a payment plan split into 3 pieces.
2. I need to rent some gear, can I?
Yes! The Hokaiddo Backcountry Club provides complementary rentals on the 2 days we have booked with them. We have arranged 10% off Rhythm Summit in Hirafu as well. They rent out backcountry packs with probe, shovels, beacons, touring ski, splitboard + skins, etc. Here is the pricing before discounts: Splitboards Β₯7,500/ $68 AVI Pack 5000yen/ $45 Beacon 2,000yen/ $18 Probe 1500yen/ Shovel $14 1500yen/ $14. You can make those arrangements directly and our lodge provides transportation for pickup/dropoff.
3. Is there a shuttle to the lodge from the new chitose airport in sapporo?
Yes, in Hirafu and Niseko area. They are many shuttles from the airport to choose from and the pricing is very modest, here is an example: Niseko Bus 4500yen $40.52 USD roundtrip to Hirafu. We can arrange your pickups from there, as soon as you know your travel schedule. The bus is really fun, you stop at an awesome mid station with Japanese street food and usually has wifi.
4. I need an airport hotel for arrival or departure- any suggestions?
Airport Onsen Hotel
Yes! We love this in airport onsen hotel! Cheap, traditional, cosy and as convenient as it gets, as it is in terminal. You even get clothes to dress in and no shoes are allowed. www.new-chitose-airport-onsen.com
5. Can I link up with other campers to arrive or depart with?
Yes! When you sign up, you are invited to a private facebook and can coordinate traveling together.
6. I am not sure if my skill level is high enough.
You must be able to navigate yourself with basic speed and confidence down medium to expert terrain in resort slopes and (off piste out of bounds) to ensure safety and ease of travel for your groups, you want to be able to also navigate powder turns in the trees. Japan is typically not very steep and we will also be riding outside the trees, but this is a safe measurement. You can contact us for more details. You do not need to have backcountry experience, but must be able to follow the lead of your guide to keep you safe, so you can focus on the fun from there.
7. I am coming alone, is that normal?
Absolutely! The majority of our campers fly solo, but as βprofessionalβ travelers we will do our best to help guide you with any questions you might have along the way. We are confident that you will go home with some sincerely awesome new sisters in your life.
8. What other costs do I need to be prepared for?
Flights, shuttle to/from Airport, lunches, 2 dinners in town (one night is street food) and any rental gear.
Fine Print
Guests must be capable of skiing even the steepest slopes at resorts in a variety of conditions including deep powder and other off-piste conditions in closely spaced trees.
Travel Insurance
Please make sure that you are properly insured before you leave home!! Common problems are delayed flights, lost baggage and unfortunately injuries. If you are booked on a BDT trip, you will almost certainly be spending some time in the backcountry so please make sure that your insurance covers injuries in the backcountry.
Note: It is Japanese law for foreigners to carry their passports on them at all times. Please bring these along with you on our tours.
Cancellation: No refunds, unless approved emergency. May resell ticket and transfer for $100.
