Description

Come and join a local, professional FWQ skier for a half day of great skiing on the slopes of Hakuba. I know you’ll have an unforgettable time!

The ninth ranked FWQ skier in Japan, I don’t want to just ski with you on the slopes of Hakuba. Instead, I want to also offer you tips and advice whenever possible, as well as show you around the area’s collection of resorts and much more.

When it comes to the selection of possible resorts, Hakuba has several to choose from. Some examples include the following.

Cortina
Happo-One
Hakuba 47
Norikura
Tsugaike KogenIwatake
Kashimayari
Goryu
Sanosaka
Minekata
Jigatake

With so many skiing spots to choose from, you can rest assured you will find the right one that fits your preferences as well as your skill level. And when it comes to reaching Hakuba, there is no need to worry. There are bullet trains, regular trains and buses you can take from the city of Tokyo.

Another fantastic aspect of Hakuba is that between 11 and 13 meters of snow falls during the winter season, as if the area was naturally created for skiing! Finally, you can also enjoy some wonderful views of the Japan Alps, which surround the area’s collection of wonderful resorts.

To be a part of this trip, all you have to do is send me a request. I look forward to hearing from you and skiing with you.

If you have more time in the Hakuba area, I also offer a longer version of this trip, which can last from one full day to several.

I was born in Osaka. During my teens, I spent some time in the country side and, ever since, then I've been attracted to the mountains.

I'm currently a professional ski bum based in Hakuba!! My freeriding motto is to always try new things from the top of a mountain all the way to the bottom.

Whether it be sunny, blizzarding, or even raining, I can propose a way to have fun in the mountains!

I've travelled around the globe with my skis - all over Japan, Alaska, Canada and New Zealand.

If you just want to try out fat skis or if you are a hardcore skier who wants to ski until you can't move, I would love to show you around my hood!

I will show you how to use the natural terrain to produce your own style of freeriding. From carving to aggressive riding, let me know what you're after!

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.
