Would you like to experience skiing with a top freeride skier? Discover the routes he/she chooses and maybe learn a few tricks along the way? Then follow me for an incredible ski day in Asahidake, Japan!
I am one of the top skiers in the Freeride World Qualifier, ranked as 3rd in Japan and 57th in the world and I would love to show you this area that I know so well. On this session, you will learn some pro tips and secrets, and be able to follow my lines!
Asahidake is a powder snow heaven and perhaps Japan’s best place to ski. It is Hokkaido’s highest mountain so the snow is always fresh. We will also be able to explore different terrains, including exciting tree runs! Besides, it is not as popular as Niseko so there are less crowds to share the ski routes with. I’ve been skiing here since I was 6 years old, and this is the place that opened my eyes to freeriding which later gave me the opportunity to travel all over the world for competitions!
For this adventure, I request that you are at least an intermediate skier and are able to assess the limits of what you can and cannot do. You should be able to connect turns and safely descend intermediate level slopes without assistance. Of course, I will be there to help and guide you on the way!
Let’s go skiing together in this outstanding place. It is definitely one of my favorite ones. Book your place now and get ready for a memorable day in the Japanese snow!
I also offer a half-day tour in the area if you wish to follow me for a shorter period of time. You can read more about it here.

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!

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.
