Description
Located in the Negano prefecture of Japan, in the midst of the sensational Japan Alps, Hakuba is a famed resort area full of amazing slopes.
On this trip, I would like to give you the chance to ski on the beautiful slopes of Hakuba with a professional, freeride world qualifier skier.
There are many advantages that come with skiing with a pro. For instance, you will get to see how a professional chooses their runs, then, you will get to see how they ski on them. You will get to see the little details that only years and years of experience can provide. I will also gladly give you tips and advice throughout the day, or days, of this trip as well. However, it is important to keep in mind that I am not a guide, or instructor. Instead, my goal on this trip is for you to have a great time on the slopes, while also learning a thing or two along the way.
This trip is not for beginners. Instead, it is for experienced skiers that are looking for a new way to enjoy skiing.
I know you’ll have a great time on the slopes of Hakuba. And I would be happy to help you enjoy them as much as possible. So if you would like to ski with a pro in one of the most beautiful resort areas of Japan, just send a request. I look forward to hearing from you.
I also offer a group version of this trip that you can enjoy here.

About the guide
Ayako
FWQ Athlete
- Skier
- 3rd in Women's Freeride Skiing Japan (57th in World Ranking)
- Residence: Tokyo
- English level: Native
I was born in Tokyo but have been based in Whistler, BC in Canada since high school. I moved in order to compete more regularly in Junior freeriding competitions. At the moment, I am traveling around the globe as I compete in the FWQ Tour. I am currently ranked 3rd in Japan.
In my spare time, I enjoy sharing my passion for freeriding with anyone and everyone who is interested in winter sports, including children. I love seeing people discover freeriding and realize how accessible it actually is.
When I am home in Japan, I typically ride in Hakuba and Echigo Yuzawa, as well as Sapporo and Asahidake in Hokkaido. I have been skiing around Hokkaido since I was 6 years old, and this is the place that first opened my eyes to freeriding. I would love to share it with you.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
