Description

For this private trip, you will get to enjoy one or more days skiing on the slopes of Hokkaido's collection of resorts with a freeride world tour skier.

I am the second ranked FWT skier in Japan and the sixtieth ranked FWT skier in the world.

Very experienced and passionate about skiing, I always enjoy being able to share that joy of the sport with those who enjoy it as well. Along with the enjoyment, I am also happy to share tips and advice on skiing as well.

Filled with deep, fresh and world class powder, the available slopes in Hokkaido are wonderful. And because of the experience I have on those slopes, I will do my best to help you enjoy them as much as possible.

Definitely a unique experience, I believe the chance to ski with a professional gives skiers an opportunity to pick up on things they might not have known to look for. You will get to see how a pro conducts themselves, and see what they do and why. To experience it for yourself, just send a request.

Would you like to enjoy a half-day version of this private trip? Then join me here.

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.
