Description

Have you ever wondered how your skiing skills compare with a pro? Ever wanted to put yourself to the test and find out?

Well now is your chance to find out! Join me for a fun and exciting 1+ day of skiing in Hakuba, Japan – site of the 1988 Winter Olympics. I am currently the 15th highest ranked skier in my home country and competing in the Ski World Tour qualifiers.

The Ski World Tour is a series of events in which the best skiers and riders from around the world compete both for individual wins and the World Champion title.

However, we will spend a great day skiing on some of the excellent pistes available to us in Hakuba. Located at the very northern edge of the Japanese Alps, near the Chūbu-Sangaku National Park, this region is well known for its extremely snowy winters and pristine natural beauty.

In between runs, we’ll have time to chat and take in the extraordinary beauty of this tiny skiing village. As we go from run to run, I’ll even give you a few pointers along the way, although the main point of our trip is to spend as much time out on the slopes as a day or more will allow!

Please remember that you need to be at least an intermediate skier to participate in this tour. Take into account that you will need to be able to assess for yourself what you can or cannot do. It will be your responsibility to ski at your own level.

So what are you waiting for? Join me on this epic skiing adventure as we take advantage of all the wonderful pistes available for us and all of Hakuba’s stunning scenery!

If you like the look of this trip then you may also enjoy spending 1+ day skiing the pristine slopes of Akaigawa with me!

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.
