Alli Widman

Alli helped us pivot when our original plans did not work out. She suggested great hotels and gave us a good sense of things to do in Santa Barbara. Super friendly and knowledgeable.

Easy, thoughtful, and kept our needs in mind!

Alli is great to work with and helped make this trip seamless throughout. Loved all her suggestions as far as restaurants, hotel and skiing. Great to work with and responsive.

Alli (Founder, Avant Ski ) absolutely killed it! What an awesome trip! 6 phenomenal days where I don’t think it stopped snowing for more than an hour at a time. It just plain dumped! Never in 40+ years of skiing all over the world have I seen this much snow, sustained over an entire trip. Knee to thigh deep JAPOW every day! Really awesome, only better powder conditions I have ever had was heli-skiing. Loved Niseko, Setsu (lodging) was amazing, a great call Alli strongly recommended to me. Our family loved it -- the restaurants, Onsen, first class service, accommodations -- all perfect. Def glad we were in Hirafu for restaurant/nightlife/shopping opportunities. Only negative was Niseko was packed, a testament to the incredible snow and overall popularity of the resort! Even more so because weather and associated closure of upper lifts brought more people down low. 30 min gondola lines during the day, offset by the fact that lower lifts stayed open until 1900 with virtually no crowds after 1530 (so I could get 6-7 laps in before dinner). Kobe Tei yakiniku and The Alpinist over the top fantastic meals. Notably, everything Alli set up was super easy for us. The transfers, check in, lift tickets, rentals, ski school….all made our trip easy. Makes a big difference. THANK YOU Alli!
