The Japan Ski Experience Team

Japan Ski Experience is a tour operator specialising in Japan ski holidays. We have extensive local knowledge, with each Japan Ski Experience consultant having spent at least 5 winter seasons in Japan, across a wide range of Japan ski resorts.

Justine Anbeek

Holiday Coordinator
A native Canadian, Justine moved to Japan in 2004 and fell in love with its consistently deep powder snow. Her unparalleled attention to detail and organisational skills are to thank for JSE’s seamless holiday packages

Ben Thorpe

Managing Director
Following 11 ski seasons in Japan with 6 in Niseko, no one can rival Ben’s local knowledge. Ben manages JSE’s Hokkaido bookings and operations, maximising the holiday experiences of JSE’s Niseko guests.

Jessica Gloor

Niseko Specialist
After doing ski seasons in Europe and Canada, Jess experienced the powder and onsens of Niseko and has not looked back. Jess managed Niseko’s Rhythm Snowsports for 5 years and is now a true local specialist.

Lindsay Colbert

Managing Director
Lindsay spent 5 ski seasons in Japan before founding JSE. Japan’s unique culture, incredible snow quality and few foreign visitors made this a logical move. She is a JSE travel consultant and general manager.

Sarah Mulholland

Honshu Specialist
Sarah has spent 8 winters in Hakuba and Myoko skiing powder, bathing in onsens and experiencing the culture of mainland Japan. She has vast experience organising Japan ski holidays and is a fountain of knowledge.
