Description

Have you ever wanted to see how your skiing skills compare to those of a professional athlete? Do you think you have what it takes to keep up?

Well, now is the perfect chance for you to find out! Join me for a fun and exciting day of skiing on the slopes of the Japanese Alps around Hakuba.

I am currently ranked 15th in Japan and am competing in the Freeride World Tour qualifiers. The Freeride World Tour is a series of events in which the best skiers and riders from around the world compete both for individual wins and the World Champion title.

However, we will spend our half-day together taking advantage of this central Japanese haven for skiing. Hakuba was the home base of the alpine skiing event in the 1988 Winter Olympics, so you know there are some excellent slopes for us to try out.

The main point of our day is to have fun and get to know each other a bit, but as we make our way down some truly epic pistes, I’ll be sure to give you a few pointers as well.

Please remember that you need to be at least an intermediate skier to participate in this tour. Take into account that you will need to be able to assess for yourself what you can or cannot do. It will be your responsibility to ski at your own level.

So what are you waiting for? Book now and come spend an excellent half-day skiing with me on the olympic-caliber resorts of Hakuba in the northern portion of the Japanese Alps!

If you like the look of this trip, then I think you will also enjoy spending a half-day skiing in the pristine resorts of Akaigawa with me too!

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.
