Description

Let me invite you to spend a great half day together in one of my favourite ski destinations: Asahidake, in the island of Hokkaido.

I am a top ranking Freeride World Qualifier skier, 57th in the world and 3rd in Japan. When I am not participating in competitions around the world, I like to share my passion for skiing with others on fun ski sessions!

Hokkaido, in Japan, is where I began when I was 6 years old. It is in fact the place that opened my eyes to freeriding, giving me the chance to travel all over the world. Asahidake is one of my favourite places in Japan. The ski resort is located within the Daisetsuzan National Park, near the town of Higashikawa. Winters here are cold and snowfall is abundant throughout the season. This means we will certainly enjoy great powder and I will show you the best spots to ski in!

The terrain in Asahidake is varied, providing options for all levels. But I require you to be at least an intermediate skier, able to assess the limits of what you can and cannot do.The idea of this half day is for you to have a fun outing, while you follow my lines and learn tips from a pro. Additionally, since I am not a certified guide, we will stay within the boundaries of the ski resort.

Interested to meet me in Asahidake for an exciting half day skiing? Then please request to book this trip and let’s set a date! I look forward to seeing you there and showing you how a professional athlete skis. And if you have more time in the area, you can join me for one or more days here.

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.

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.
