Our passion is travel. Skiing is our love. We combine both for our Japan Ski/Board tours.
Brian and his wife Yumi enjoy traveling and skiing throughout the world. Yumi is from Nagasaki Japan and has worked in the service industry in Japan until moving to the US with Brian in 2022.
While living in Japan for 6 years, and after, Brian has skied 48 of the 450(!) ski areas in Japan.
Brian is a retired professional engineer with 50+ years skiing experience. He is a Level 1 Professional Ski Instructor working part-time at Big Sky, MT since 2022. While working in Germany for 3 years, aside from traveling/skiing Europe with family, Brian was a "trip captain" for ski trips to Zermatt, the Dolomites, and Verbier. While working in Okinawa Japan for 6 years he skied extensively in Japan, and organized several ski/board trips for co-workers throughout Japan. Starting Snokinawa Ski/Board tours of Japan is a natural progression.
Yumi spent a year in the United Kingdom as a home health care volunteer while taking English courses and has since worked in Japan as a English customer service representative for several companies. Since 2022 she has actively pursued a Japanese-English translation career and is currently working freelance as an English-Japanese translator. To date she has transcribed Japanese-American website articles, Ted Talks, and instructional books. Although skiing only 5 years, she is a solid intermediate skier.
