WTM Japan Powder Chasing Ski Tour

There are a variety of reasons Japan powder skiing is at the top of many skiers' and riders' destination lists. The island of Hokkaido is legendary for arguably the driest and most consistent powder in the world. Enjoy uncrowded ski resorts and our English-speaking guides who will lead the way to untracked side-country skiing (that requires traversing, but not hiking).  

We've selected two different hotels as our "hubs" for this trip (in the towns of Furano and Otaru), and each day your guides will assess where the best nearby conditions and powder will be (Hokkaido is also famous for micro storms and varied snowfall within small areas).  

This trip is also a fantastic cultural experience! Our guides will make dinner arrangements nightly for the group, and be available to help with menu selections for adventurous eaters. Our lodging selections include in-hotel hot springs and are well-positioned for both skiing and walking around town.  

The Wilderness Medicine CME lectures will take place every afternoo

New Zealand Adventure with IVS!

The Ultimate South Island Tour:  
12 Days of Adventure  

Because New Zealand is about two thirds the size of California, there’s a delicate balance between seeing and experiencing as much of the country as you can and spending too much time in the trip vehicle. With that in mind, we specifically designed The Ultimate South Island Tour for active people looking to experience the best of New Zealand in 12 adventure filled days, while at the same time keeping the driving component to a minimum. Between 2013 and 2019, our partner tour company guided over 600 National Geographic guests on this tried and tested itinerary showcasing New Zealand’s most dramatic alpine scenery. Past National Geographic guests have loved this tour and told us that it has the balance of activities, drive times, accommodation and meals just right.
