What the Honeymooners say:


Charlie did an amazing job helping us plan our honeymoon to Japan! He answered all our questions in a timely manner both before our trip and during. He was very detailed with our trip itinerary and is an expert of the area. We were able to relax and enjoy our trip knowing that Charlie had it all planned out for us. I highly recommend snow locals and would definitely use them again. Thank you again Charlie for all your help!

We also used Charlie to plan our honeymoon trip to Hokkaido and his knowledge was invaluable. My wife and I are both experienced skiers/boarders but have different preferences for piste vs. powder. Charlie did an amazing job pointing us towards the resorts (Rusutsu & Niseko) that worked not just well but perfectly so that we could both find exactly what we wanted on and off the slopes. He also helped arrange a replacement cat skiing day when the heli day did not work out and it was extremely nice to have someone to handle logistics so we could continue enjoying our holiday rather than chasing down refunds and rebookings. Also prices for accommodation, rentals, and everything else were in line or cheaper than booking direct. Would highly recommend for anyone but especially those who have not skied in Japan before!!
