wasabi is undergoing a full service!
Hi Guys,
As the eagle-eyed amongst you will have noticed, we have recently removed the web app from the home page on wasabi. Don’t worry though, this is not a long term change, it’s a short term move which will eventually mean even more insane trips for you to enjoy.
Since we launched in 2009, we’ve created some epic powder trips for you. During this time we’ve also gathered a load of feedback on the app and our adventures, in most cases as we’ve gone along we’ve made some tweaks but now it’s time for a major service. What this means for you is:
- Quicker turn around on quotes
- More location information during the creation process
- Exclusive content and offers
- A truly unique company that puts you in control of the products and keeps you at the forefront of the Freeride scene
To do this properly we need to throw 100% of our time into it, and as such we’ve made the decision to remove the app from the website for the 2010/11 season and for now we won’t be running any adventures. For those of you with wasabi accounts, we’ve temporarily suspended them so the code monkeys can work their magic without accidently wiping one of your created adventures. But we’ll get them back to you as quickly as we can – we’ll keep you posted on this.
So in the meantime, what are we up to? Well, we’ve decided to give you a unique look behind the scenes of wasabi! In a new section on the blog – the lodge – we are promising to let you in on our day to day lives, building the adventures and growing the business. Keep checking back to watch how we grow! We’ll also keep you posted in the UK Freeriding scene as it unfolds this season.
So, that’s about it for now. If you have already, make sure you register your email with us on the homepage and we’ll let you know about our relaunch.
We hope you have an awesome season, we’ll share ours with your here on the blog and please keep us posted on yours. Oh…and please keep spreading the word about wasabi, and keep the freeriding revolution going forward!
Cheers

the big launch party
We promised to keep you posted on it..and here are the details. We are having a small get together to celebrate the launch of wasabi (any excuse to try and brighten up January in the UK). So before we head to the slopes for the rest of the winter, please come by The White House in Clapham on 21st January for some drinks, music and good times!! So good, in fact, we’ve even created a Facebook event page for it. It would also be a great chance for you to meet the team and discover more about what we can offer you.
We have a guest DJ set from our good friend DJ Chronikal, check out his myspace to listen to his tunes.
The event is strictly a guestlist event so please drop us a line on hello@wasabitravel.com with your name and anyone else you wish to bring along.
Hope those of you in the UK are suriving the current freeze, and those of you on the slopes are enjoying the white stuff. We look forward to joining you out there- after one epic night in London that is.

wasabi- the big launch
“Snow? In London!” I hear you exclaim. Yes, it’s true it finally came today- though not quite in enough abundance to get us all donning the ski gear and busting out some tricks in Hyde Park! But that is not the only newsworthy story for this week…no no something much more exciting has occurred….that’s right, wasabi has officially launched!
After 14 months of blood, sweat, tears, sleep deprivation, periodic baldness and a not insignificant amount of beer consumption, we finally have it ready for you all to see and enjoy. The coding goblins have been hard at work designing, creating and testing my.wasabi, and now it’s time for them to head for a yuletide schnapps while you guys start to get to grips with it.
my.wasabi is here to help you explore the world of powder skiing and boarding, discover what is out there, design your own adventure and then we’ll help you make it happen! So go and have a play with it and then, when you’re ready, send your adventure through to us (by activating it in your shiny new my.wasabi account we will create for you in the process) and we’ll help you make it happen.
The big launch party will be happening soon, location and date still tbc, we’ll keep you posted on that and we look forward to seeing you there (or failing that then on the slopes this season).
Thanks and we’re looking forward to seeing all the adventures you guys create!

Not long now!
You may (or may not) have noticed that this blog has changed addresses – so you’ll need to update your RSS feed address if you’re a subscriber. It’s all changed around because we’re launching the full website any day now – check out my.wasabi for a sneak peek and see what our designers and developers have been busy tinkering with!
Test Drive
You can be one of the first people to test run out our exciting new adventure creator – which we’ll be launching within the next few weeks. If that sounds like something you’d like to be a part of (and we’d really love you to be), then head on over to our signup form and register your email address!
