Ski Instructor-

From a very young age I’ve had a strong connection with the mountains and nature. Although I grew up in the city, I used to travel to the countryside quite a lot. At the beginning, I approached the mountains in the summer time, hiking, trekking, sleeping in mountain huts, climbing and doing that kind of things. Later on, I started skiing and I just couldn't stopped: I became addicted to the snow!!

Back-country skiing started to grow on me when I was working in the Lake Tahoe ski area. I can still remember the feeling of the first few times I went to the backcountry on my skis, going up and down several peaks with no people around me except for my group of friends and away from the crowds of the resorts. It was fantastic!

After several year of backcountry skiing in Argentina (near Bariloche) and USA (Lake Tahoe), I made it to Niseko, Japan. I have been skiing, teaching, and guiding in Japan for the past 4 years. The snow here is unbelievable and the skiable terrain is huge and diverse. In the Niseko area you can find everything, from easy off-piste near the resort to several days backcountry skiing out there and lots of volcano skiing. Come on, just contact me and let’s go skiing!!

Our guide was Tomas Baez. He was absolutely fantastic. I have skied with many guides and Tomas is top 1%. He was creative in organizing our 7 ski days and we felt that we got to see a wide array of ski experiences in Hokkaido. We mixed side country with back country and had a fabulous time! I highly recommend Tomas as a ski guide.

We actually had Tomas, rather than Nicolas and he was great. It was a busy day but tomas found us nice snow and showed us around the mountain. We used the “local” knowledge to help us find lots of nice glade and bowl skiing for the rest of the week.

We had a great day of skiing with our guide Ivan. He was knowledgeable, kind and a great skier that knew where all the best snow was located for our ability. My boys loved him. Thank you for a great day in Niseko!
