Michael from Blue Powder Tours was fantastic in booking our holiday to Japan. He made the whole process very easy and nothing was too much to ask. We are really looking forward to taking our young children on a great family holiday. Highly recommended and definitely will use them again.read more

Great communication and a trip with no hassle I am so grateful that we picked Blue Powder as a company that organised our ski trip to Japan in March 2017. Melissa and Drew were very prompt with answering of all my queries. I would like to thank these guys for taking care of all from flights, to accommodation, from ski passes to ski gear hiring. We received a nice travel booklet with all paperwork so we were all ready to go and enjoy one of the greatest experiences in my life :)read more

These guys really know their stuff. They've been there, stayed there, done it - and they're happy to suggest and recommend. Sam Stringer knows, and has experienced most of the best ski resorts and is happy to share her knowledge. She is always dependable, reliable and obliging. Forget trying to organise ski travel by yourself - these people can do it all, and do it well.read more

Hooked the family up to whistler for 3 weeks last year, no hiccups all went smooth. They had great recommendations on accommodation and things to do for the family. They sorted everything, tickets, lessons and great advice so if your after a company that does it all for you then I could not recommend a better group to deal withread more

We have just booked our first ski trip to Canada through Sam at Blue Powder Tours. The whole process was effortless as Sam just organised everything for us. As first time travellers overseas it was so reassuring to have someone with so much knowledge of the Whistler Village to advise us of what would suit our requirements and also advise on things like visas and transfers that are required. Sam just organised it all for us all we have to do is pay and turn up! I'm so looking forward to our trip and want to extend our sincere thanks to Sam for making it so easy and for being so professional throughout the whole process.read more

From day one of our recent overseas trip until the grand finale six weeks later, we have nothing but high praise for Blue Powder Tours for the efficiency and thorough sensitivity of our requirements, by their consultant Shona Sarquis, who left no stone unturned to provide us with the smoothest most comfortable and memorable trip we could have asked for. We would highly recommend their product to everyone we know planning for an OS trip. Janet & John Sladeread more

I am comfortable organising my own Australian ski holiday every year , but was worried about doing it for overseas travel, especially a family skiing holiday to a country that I have not been to previously. I asked around and read a few reviews and came up with 'Blue Powder Travel'. From the outset, I was met with a professional organisation who took my worries away and kept me informed from Day 1 until we flew out to Japan in January 2017. What a great holiday, made all the better by the invaluable assistance of Melissa from BPT. I also had the privilege of meeting Melissa and her colleagues at a ski travel expo in Sydney and was so grateful to have discussed my familiy holiday with people who have been there and done that. I am so pleased with my previous experience that I am using their services again for our family trip to Canada in January 2019. Most of it is already booked, but just for the purposes of doing some comparisons, I also sent out a few emails and quote requests to other snow specialists - as at 21 February 2018, I have had not one reply - yet Blue Powder (Melissa) has already taken care of us and offered us a great deal for Whistler. Couldn't be happier and am pleased to write this recommendation to a local Aussie company.read more

Drew from BPT has been looking after us for our ski trips for the last 10 years. Always does a fantastic job. This year was Big Sky Montana. A resort very worth a visit,offering a wide range of skiing options from gentle greens to savage,steep [and often pretty ugly] double blacks + everything in between. This is a BIG resort so you need your ski legs on to get the most from it. Our on snow accommodation [Shoshone condos] was excellent [including very welcome complimentary breakfasts] and offered very easy access to the slopes. Mountain village retail is limited but functional and frequent shuttles to the lower village can expand your options although even then, not a whole lot of variety. Didn't really detract from the overall experience as we could get everything we needed when we needed it. Weather was variable but their bluebird days are magnificent. Did get very cold so make sure that you have suitable cold weather gear in case. A great resort to ski.Highly recommend a visit and highly recommend Blue powder travel to arrange it for you.read more
