OUR STORY

The Origins of boobooSKI

by Adam Claydon-Platt, Founder of boobooSKI.com.

I’ve been snowboarding with my brothers since I was 15. They were some of the first foreigners ever to work in Ski Resorts in Japan; in the early 1990s!

One day, they were having an Onsen with their boss, who said “I wish we had more staff like you” … and the idea for boobooSKI was born!

In our 1st year, we only sent a handful of Aussies to 1 remote resort in Nagano. Fast forward 20 years, and we now send hundreds of youths from 20+ countries, to resorts all around Japan.

But we still always remember our roots – and aim to be “your big brother” while you’re in Japan. To help you have as much fun as possible, with minimum hassle.
