Half-Day Ride with FWQ snowboarder Noriko Ishimatsu in Myoko (Private)

Explore Myoko alongside a professional FWQ snowboarder and ride in the enthralling Kubiki Mountains! Love run after run of epic powder and pick up on the techniques and traits of a world class boarder on a half-day program for the ages!

Myoko, located in the Niigata Prefecture of Japan, has long been a world-class hub for unrivaled skiing and snowboarding. One of the oldest established ski resorts began operating here in the 1930s, and it was even a favorite destination for the Japanese imperial family. Along with the classic dry powder that has made Japan one of the most sought-after winter sports locations in the world, Myoko also has the country’s longest ski and snowboarding run.

Your program provides all these incredible features to give you the best half-day shredding experience of your entire life. And the cherry on top? You get to ride with me, a Freeride World Qualifier and top-level snowboarder! I am absolutely stoked to take you through some of the unbelievable terrain that has helped shape me into the snowboarder I am today!

We will cruise through this incomparable region, which includes hot springs and a deep-rooted mountain culture, sharing some laughs and memorable runs. You can see how I determine my lines, what makes a particular route and run so exciting, and other great tips to incorporate into your riding repertoire.

You need to be an intermediate-level snowboarder, capable of skiing to your ability and being able to assess your own skills. We will always remain within the boundaries of the resorts. I am not an instructor or guide, so the goal of our trip will be to share some runs and laughs and have a great time on the mountain.

Join me on a half-day of bodacious snowboarding and enjoy yourself in the company of a Freeride World Qualifier professional while experiencing the truly unique resorts of Myoko!
