Description

Ever wanted to ride along with a professional skier? Then come with me on this fantastic half-day skiing adventure in Hakuba, Japan.

I am a freeride world qualifier skier, with lots of experience in Hakuba. So don’t miss out on this exclusive opportunity. And let me share with you some of my favorite spots on this marvellous skiing resort, as well as pro tips, as we enjoy its dazzling sceneries.

Hakuba lies in the heart of the Japanese Alps, in the Nagano Prefecture. It is a magical place with some of the best light dry powder. On average, it gets around 11 meters of snow per season, offering incomparable powder hounds and thrilling descents. Therefore, it is considered one of the top skiing resorts in Japan.

Please note this trip is like no others, as I am not an instructor, nor a guide. Hence, our adventure won’t focus on guiding or teaching you. On the contrary, my goal is that we enjoy the slopes and the hypnotizing views.

Also, take into consideration that even though the slopes here are not extremely difficult, participants must at least be intermediate skiers. But if you are an advanced skier, we’ll get to chose some more challenging descents and have an amazing time!

So if you are up for this skiing trip, don’t hesitate and request to book this trip. It will be my pleasure to ride with you in Hakuba, Japan.

About the guide

Ayako

FWQ Athlete

- Skier
- 3rd in Women's Freeride Skiing Japan (57th in World Ranking)
- Residence: Tokyo
- English level: Native

I was born in Tokyo but have been based in Whistler, BC in Canada since high school. I moved in order to compete more regularly in Junior freeriding competitions. At the moment, I am traveling around the globe as I compete in the FWQ Tour. I am currently ranked 3rd in Japan.

In my spare time, I enjoy sharing my passion for freeriding with anyone and everyone who is interested in winter sports, including children. I love seeing people discover freeriding and realize how accessible it actually is.

When I am home in Japan, I typically ride in Hakuba and Echigo Yuzawa, as well as Sapporo and Asahidake in Hokkaido. I have been skiing around Hokkaido since I was 6 years old, and this is the place that first opened my eyes to freeriding. I would love to share it with you.

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.
