Half-day Skiing in Gifu with FWQ skier Yuki Kuwabara

Join me for a half day skiing in Gifu, Japan. It will be a novel way to experience skiing in a resort. I am a professional skier, and I am eager to share with you my top pro tips in the mountain.

Located in central Honshu, Japan’s principal island, Gifu is a prefecture where we find traditional mountain villages. There are two main areas with popular ski slopes: Okumino and Hida. In particular, I would like to ski with you in Okumino. This destination has ample ski slopes and beautiful open landscapes.

I have been skiing in the Okumino area for a very long time. When it snows we get easy powder skiing and tree runs. In addition, there are snow parks where you can try kickers and gibs, as well as half pipe of different sizes. Depending on the snowfall, there will be days when we are able to experience all of it in just one day!

I am one of the top ranking skiers in the Freeride World Qualifier: number 5 in Japan! When I am not competing or preparing for competitions around the world, I enjoy sharing some ski time with enthusiastic skiers. Since I am not a certified guide, we will stay within the limits of the ski resort. Keep in mind that the goal of this program is not to improve your skills, but to have a fun day and learn some tips from a pro.

I strongly recommend Gifu for skiers who are beginners in powder skiing, or if it’s their first time in snow parks. It is also a great option if you want to find a challenge in half pipes. The ski resorts in the area offer a lot of easy runs, so it is also suitable for beginner skiers and families.

If you are interested, you can combine this trip with a visit to one of the hot springs in the area!
