Description

Looking for a unique snowboarding adventure? How does snowboarding with a professional sound? If you like the idea, then don’t hesitate and join me on this half-day snowboarding trip in Nagano, Japan.

I am a Freeride World Qualifier (FWQ) athlete. Also, I am ranked 7th in Japan. Snowboarding is one my biggest passions. And one of my favorite places for practicing this wonderful sport is Nagano, in the Japan Alps.

Located in the Honshu island, Nagano is famous for being the home of 9 out of the 12 highest mountains in Japan. What’s more, the majestic peaks here, offer an incomparable backdrop scenery.

Also, its amazing weather conditions, ensure fresh snow all the way from December to April. So we can enjoy long and wild rides, with the best powder snow. Here, you will find different types of descents. But all of them offer the most thrilling experience!

It would be my pleasure to share with you some pro tips as we explore this winter wonderland. However, please note that I am not a certified ski guide, nor an instructor. Therefore, we will have to remain within the ski resorts boundaries at all times. But worry not! You will still find a lot of local ski resorts and areas that foreign visitors haven’t explored. Why not ride and explore the local secret spots with me?

If you want to join this half day trip, just send me a request. I promise it will be an unforgettable snowboarding adventure in Japan.

FWQ Athlete

- Snowboarder
- 7th in Men's Freeride Snowboarding Japan
- Residence: Myoko
- English level: Basic

Hello! I'm Masaki Mitsuhisa, a pro snowboarder!

I am based in Myoko, a place renowned for its deep powder. I would define my riding style as "All Mountain Freestyle": I especially enjoy doing jumps and tricks on natural mountain terrain.

I'd love to ride with people who respect Japanese culture, its people and its mountains and who are here to enjoy Japan as a whole.

I welcome riders of all levels! I'm not very good at speaking English so communication could be a little tricky but I'm sure we'll find a way around it.

Lastly, thank you for visiting Japan. I wish you a wonderful trip and I sincerely look forward to riding together!

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!

Maxine

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.
