The village of Hakuba in the Nagano Prefecture has long been a premiere ski destination. It hosted the 1998 Winter Olympics, it accommodates skiers, snowboarders, and every stripe of winter sport enthusiast. It is notorious for having light powder of the highest quality, making for some of the best runs and lines in all of Japan and the world. There are tons of reasons why this is one of my favorite places to ski.
When it comes to freeriding, I couldn’t imagine a better place than Hakuba for a perfect ski vacation. Not only will you be enjoying all of the natural features of this unique location like world-class facilities and fascinating culture, but you will be scouring the snow for the perfect run with a seasoned professional! As an FWT skier currently ranked 60th in the world, I know how to have fun, ski hard, and make memories in a snowy paradise.
The better part of our day will be spent around the spectacular resort runs across Hakuba. I am not an instructor, but I can share professional tips I take up the mountain when I ski, including what runs and lines I take and why. To be in good company and share my passion for skiing with a like-minded individual is my goal for this program.
You should be an intermediate-level skier or better to participate in this trip. It is your responsibility to assess your skills and abilities to ski at a reasonable proficiency. Being in good shape is also necessary for a skiing adventure that will last about half of a day.
Book this amazing opportunity NOW and enjoy a half-day program skiing with a world-ranked athlete and immersing yourself in Hakuba’s dreamlike scenery of snow!

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.
