Description
Join me for one or more days skiing in the Sapporo area, in the island of Hokkaido, Japan. As a professional skier, I can provide you unique experiences in the best slopes of the ski resorts in the region.
There are several ski resorts in the area: Sapporo Teine, Mount Moiwa Ski Resort, Fu’s snow area, Sapporo Bankei Ski Area, Takino Suzuran Hillside Park Snow World and Sapporo Kokusai Skiing Resort. The terrain is vast and extremely varied. Get ready for some pristine fresh powder and thrilling tree runs!
I am one of the top ranking skiers in the Freeride World Qualifier, actually within the top 100 in the world. I would love to spend one or more days with you in this region I know so well. I have been skiing in the area since I was 6 years old. In fact, this is the place that opened my eyes to freeriding. I started here, and it eventually gave me the opportunity to travel all over the world for competitions. This is my passion and I would like to share it with you!
I am not a certified guide but an expert skier. Therefore, this will not be a ski course. Of course I will give you pro tips and secrets, and this will allow you to improve your technique. Furthermore, you will be able to follow my lines and ask for specific pointers! You will however need an intermediate level at least to join these sessions. You should be able to connect turns and safely descend intermediate level slopes without assistance.
Mountains in the Sapporo area are not the highest in Japan, but they have great quality snow. Fresh snow is abundant throughout the season, so we will enjoy fresh powder every day! Sapporo is not only a popular destination for locals, but for ski lovers from all over the world.
If you want to join me skiing in this wonderful region of Japan, request to book this trip. I look forward to sharing my favourite slopes with you! And if you don’t have much time, check out this half-day option.

- 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.
