I invite you to join me for a half-day riding tour on the amazing powder of Hakuba. I am a Freeride World Qualifier athlete with 15 years of snowboarding experience. We will ride together the best runs and I will give you some pro tips along the way!
Located at the heart of the Japan Alps, in the Nagano Prefecture, Hakuba boasts unique light dry powder, making it a paradise for powder hounds. Offering easy access from Tokyo and other major cities, and receiving an average of 11 meters of snow each season, Hakuba is considered one of Japan’s top winter resort areas, comprising 9 top level ski resorts.
I know Hakuba like the back of my hand, so during this half-day tour I will take you to some of my favorite pistes. As I am not an instructor or guide, for safety reasons, we will always stay within ski area boundaries. Our goal during our time togeher will just be to have fun and enjoy the rides! Of course, I will share some tips and advice with you whenever possible.
Please note you need to have at least an intermediate level to join this tour. This is a great opportunity for you to watch and learn first-hand how a professional athlete rides. If you are an advanced snowboarder, you can also see what lines I pick, and follow my track.
Also, take into account that you will have to assess your level for yourself. It will be your responsibility to ski at your own level!
If you want to join me on this half-day riding tour, just send me a request. I will be happy to show you around my favorite riding spots in Hakuba!

I was looking for a local guide for a hike I was planning and came across Explore-Share. They seemed to have good reviews and so decided to give them a try. The experience was very positive and completely happy with their service. I will be using them again for next trip.

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.
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
