Description

On this half-day trip, you will get to snowboard with freeride world qualifier snowboarder, Noriko on the beautiful slopes of Myoko.

Located in the Niigata prefecture of Japan, Myoko is home to 9 different mountain ski resorts. Those resorts include the following.

  • Akakura

  • Ikenotaira Onsen

  • Suginohara

  • Seki Onsen

  • Kyukamura

  • Myoko ski park

  • APA resort

  • Madarao Kogen

  • Tangram ski circus

Each one of these resorts has its own highlights. For example Suginohara has the longest run in all Japan.

After you’ve chosen where to snowboard, we will enjoy the slopes together. And because I am not a guide or instructor, my intention is for you to have a great time snowboarding, as opposed to walking you through a list of instructions. But I will happily give you tips and advice through the trip.

Boasting some of the best runs in Japan, Myoko is the perfect place to enjoy great snowboarding. And on this half-day trip you will get to enjoy those runs with a professional. You will get to see which runs I choose and why. You will then get to join me as we make our way down those runs.

It is important that before you participate on this trip you have a good understanding of your own skill level, which should be at least intermediate. You should also understand your own limitations, which is crucial when it comes to selecting the right run.

If you want to spend a half-day snowboarding with a professional in the multiple resort area of Myoko, this is the trip for you. All you have to do to be a part of it is send a request. I look forward to snowboarding with you.

I can also snowboard with you for a full day at Hakuba on this group trip.

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.
