Description

Have you ever wanted to ski with a pro? Then this trip is for you. Join me for a half-day skiing program in Hakuba, Japan!

Located in Nagano, Hakuba is a village encompassing the most popular ski resorts of the Japan Alps. With an annual snowfall of over 11 meters, it offers a varied terrain with fresh powder snow and amazing trees!

I am a Freeride World Qualifier athlete (ranked 8th in Japan) and I know this area like the back of my hand. During this half-day tour I will take you to some of my favorite runs in the area. You can choose from all the ski resorts in Hakuba: Cortina, Norikura, Tsugaike Kogen, Iwatake, Happo-One, Jigatake and Minekata, among others.

This is a great opportunity for you to watch first-hand how a professional skier moves. The goal is just to have fun and enjoy the descents, although of course I also give you some tips! Keep in mind that you need at least an intermediate skiing level to participate. 

So, if you are up for this half-day skiing trip, just send me a request. I will be happy to show you some stunning spots in Hakuba!

We can also make it a full-day experience: check it out!

FWQ Athlete

- Skier
- 8th in Men's Freeride Skiing Japan
- Residence: Hokkaido
- English level: Basic

I'm born and raised in Hokkaido, so I've skied all my life, ever since I was a child. As a teenager, I joined a highschool that specialised in training skiers and ski insructors. Right after graduation, I got into freestyle skiing (what is called slopestyle now) and competed in numerous competitions.

After that, I gravitated towards the world of powder skiing and moved my skiing career to backcountry skiing. I've been competing in the Freeride World Qualifiers in Hakuba from the first year.

I welcome any skiers who just love to ski!!

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.
