Description
Have you ever wanted to ski with a professional? Have you ever wanted to see what they do that distinguishes them from the average skier? On this half-day, private trip, that is exactly what you will get to do. And you will get to do it on the slopes of Hokkaido, Japan.
Hokkaido is a place that anybody coming to Japan should make an effort to visit. The second largest island in the country, Hokkaido is beautiful any time of the year. However, during the winter season, it is especially wonderful, as it is blanketed by an abundance of powder. And it is on that powder where you can enjoy some fantastic skiing.
After years of practice and competition, I have become a very accomplished skier. In fact, I am the second ranked FWT skier in Japan, and the sixtieth FWT skier in the world. I am also a freeride world tour skier. And while it is impossible to show you everything it takes to ski as a professional in just a half-day, I can still show you a few things I hope will hope you develop further as a skier.
This ski trip is not an instructional one. Instead, it is about experienced skiers enjoying the slopes together. As a result, participants should be able to ski at a minimum intermediate level.
A great way to learn about skiing without being taught is watching how the best do it. And for a half-day, I would like to give you that chance. If you would like to enjoy it for yourself, just send a request. I look forward to skiing with you.
Is a half-day not enough for you? You can also join me on this trip, which lasts for one, or even several days.

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!

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.
