1+day skiing in Hakuba with the top male FWT skier in Japan

Explore the valley of Hakuba in the Japanese Alps, home to a large collection of resorts, with me, Taisuke, a professional Freeride World Tour skier.

I am currently ranked the number one Freeride World Tour skier in Japan, as well as being in the top 20 in the world. I know the slopes of Hakuba well, and have gotten to discover the great rides that its mountains hold.

Located in central Japan in the prefecture of Nagano, its impressive highlands present natural beauty, where its snow-covered mountains receive international attention. The amazing alpine landscapes are home to soaring summits above 3,000 meters.

The 11 skiing resorts of Hakuba offer a wide range of slopes with great balance of difficulty. Approximately 30% are suitable for beginners, 30% for intermediates and 30% for advanced skiers.

There is an abundance of long, well-groomed runs scattered across the resorts, as well as a few bundles of tree skiing opportunities. What’s more, Hakuba receives a heap of fresh snow, approximately 11-13 meters each season.

Some of the resorts include Happo One, possibly the most popular with plenty of vertical and sleep slopes, as well as many long well-groomed runs.

Iwatake is home to lovely wide runs that are great for both beginners and intermediates, and gives breathtaking panoramas of the surrounding landscape.

Cortina is the standout choice for those seeking fresh powder snow and tree skiing runs, in addition to having steeper slopes than the rest of Hakuba.

This unique opportunity is open to everyone with a basic skiing level, i.e. able to connect turns, safely descend intermediate slopes on your own.

So experience the unique chance to ski with one of the world’s best freeriders, and enjoy the Japanese mountainside.
