Our Secret Sauce

When you book a Far Out Adventure with Coalition you know that you can count on us to create a welcoming, inclusive, and safe space. We achieve this through little things, like monthly Zoom calls to get to know one another and sharing our pronouns.

We also work with locals who are excited to share the gems in their communities that will make your trip less touristy and more transformational.

Finally, we create intentional opportunities for growth and learning through thoughtful and intentional conversation on everything from our skiing/riding goals to social issues that we care about the most.

FAQs

What level skiers and riders is this trip meant for?

You should be able to confidently ski powder and variable terrain with joy and ease. The terrain at Niseko United ranges from beginner to expert.

How many people are going?

Maximum 15 people will be on this trip. We will all have a chance to get to know each other before the trip through optional monthly Zoom calls. This trip is open to women, non-binary, and trans participants. 

Can I pay in installments?

Yes, we offer multiple payment plans. Pay the $250 deposit today and we will bill you the remainder in three equal payments. ShopPay, which you can select in checkout and pay in four installments over four months, is also available for both the deposit and full trip payment.

Who's organizing this trip?

Jen Gurecki, our CEO, and Jacinta Gordon, our Content and Team coordinator who has lived in Niseko, are organizing this trip.

Do I need to bring my own skis/snowboard?

We highly recommend that you either bring your own gear or we can provide Coalition Snow demo skis or snowboards, subject to availability.

Do I need avalanche safety gear?

You must have a beacon, shovel, and probe if you plan on skiing in terrain that is not managed by ski patrol. Those kits are be available to rent as well for an additional cost. We recommend that you have a beacon/shovel/probe regardless because it's the smart thing to do. You are not required to ski terrain that isn't managed by ski patrol, but you might want to, so better to be prepared than not.

I'm afraid of holding the group back -- should I still come?

YES! And know that some people will be on the POWDER PROGRAM and you will need to feel comfortable choosing your own adventure.

What will the accommodation be like?

We will stay in a lovely hotel in the bustling and central neighborhood of Shibuya in Tokyo our first night. In Niseko we will spend six nights at The Prince Hotel, which includes a private onsen in your room, traditional beds, and a bomb breakfast buffet. You can walk to the resort and all of the best Niseko restaurants and après spots.

What's the food like?

Breakfast will be a mix of Japanese and Western. You are responsible for your own lunches. Please note that it is very difficult to eat a fully vegetarian diet in Japan due to the nature of most sauces and broths. We will work with you to accommodate your dietary restrictions.

How can I get to know the people on this trip?

We will hold optional monthly Zoom calls. Please be prepared to share your pronouns, the native land you reside on, and a little bit about yourself. You are welcome to join the calls before you commit to learn about the trip prior to booking. Please contact us for the registration link for the calls.

What's your refund policy? 

You can receive a full refund less the deposit up to six months before the departure of the trip. If you need to cancel within three to five months of the departure, we will provide credit for a future trip. There is no refund provided for cancellations within one month of the departure date. If we are not able to run the trip due to COVID-19 or other circumstances out of our control, we will reschedule the trip.

Traveling to Japan with Coalition was the trip of a lifetime with the best company! Each day was magical, starting with a lovely Japanese breakfast, skiing unreal blower pow all day, and ending with a soak in a private onsen with a view of the hill. There's also something incredibly restorative about being surrounded by strong and joyful women who rip. I feel like I've found my people.

Why Coalition Snow?

Women Owned & Operated

We knew we deserved better equipment and a community that saw us, heard us, valued us, and put us front and center. So we said goodbye to shrink-it-and-pink-it and toxic bro culture and said hello to something more: a community that values camaraderie over competition, solidarity over sending, and compassion over cuntery.

Performance Driven

We believe that the recipe for making a kick-ass pair of skis or snowboards has nothing to do with what's between your legs but what's between your ears and in your heart. We start with a concept that meets our unique needs and work with a team of engineers to bring our designs to life. We manufacture in reputable factories that prioritize the health and safety of their team and the environment. We test, bring in our Ambassadors and Athletes (did you know that our skis have been in the Olympics?), refine, and then deliver a finished product to you.

Building An Inclusive Community

From the beginning, we’ve been willing to do and say what our peers won’t. There is no place for the status quo, no room for hanging back, no time for wait or play it safe. In everything we create, we aim to make a positive impact in the world of snowsports and beyond. And that’s what makes us different. We're Coalition Snow, and we're the ones we've been waiting for.
