Description

Join me for one or more days skiing in the Asahidake area, in the island of Hokkaido, Japan. It will be a different way to experience skiing in a resort. I am a professional athlete eager to show you how to have the best possible time in the mountain!

Asahidake, part of the Daisetsuzan Volcanic group, is the highest mountain in Hokkaido. It is set in Higashikawa, a beautiful Japanese town. Asahidake is a powder snow heaven, the perfect destination to plan one or more days of outstanding ski. It is not as popular as other ski destinations, like Niseko, so we will enjoy less crowded slopes.

I am one of the top ranking skiers in the Freeride World Qualifier, actually within the top 100 in the world. Hokkaido is where my passion for freeride started, I have been skiing here since I was 6 years old. Therefore, I know this place like the back of my hand and I would love to show you the top spots in the region!

The terrain in Asahidake is varied, so participants of all levels will find a slope to match their skills. However, you should be able to connect turns and safely descend intermediate level slopes without assistance**.** Please note that as I am not a ski instructor or a certified guide, therefore, we will stay within the limits of the resort. Additionally, keep in mind that this is not a course so the goal of this program is to enjoy the best runs as you follow my lines and of course have fun. Also, I will share some of my secrets and pro tips!

Let’s go skiing together in this place I love so much! It will be my pleasure to show you the best spots of Asahidake. Send me a request to book this private trip indicating how many days you would like your program to last. Or if you prefer to join a group, you can check out this other program.

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.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
