Description

Have you ever wanted to go skiing with a professional just to see how you compare? If you can even keep up?

If your answer is yes, then join me for an unforgettable half-day of skiing together in one of Niseko’s world-class resorts. I am currently ranked as the 15th best skier in Japan and am participating in the Ski World Tour qualifiers.

The Ski World Tour is a series of events in which the best skiers and riders in the world compete both for individual wins and the World Champion title.

However, we will take advantage of the amazing resorts and pristine powder that are located throughout Niseko. Located on the western tip of Hokkaido, in the very north of Japan, Niseko is world-renowned for both the quality and quantity of snow it receives. We will spend our half-day skiing together on several of the region’s finest slopes!

From Tokyo, Niseko is only a short domestic flight away and well-worth the effort to get there. On top of world-class skiing, this idyllic town boasts excellent food and several great cultural sites as well. Overall, this is a trip well-worth taking.

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 for this chance of a lifetime to spend a half-day skiing with a professional in one of the world’s best ski spots!

If you like the look of this trip then I think you will also be interested in my half-day of skiing a little farther north in Aikagawa too!

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

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.
