I invite you to a backcountry skiing trip starting in Sapporo, the capital of Hokkaido. Enjoy the best powder snow as well as the exciting city nightlife of this great destination. You can also relax in an onsen after an intense journey!
Only 2 hours away from Sapporo, there are a lot of accessible ski areas, like Niseko, Kiroro, Sapporo International Ski Resort and Kamui Links. All of them have great powder snow!
For this trip we’ll choose the best area according to the snow and weather conditions of the previous day. You can request to book one or more days, and every day we will search for the best possible conditions. Both skiers and splitboarders are welcome to join on this trip.
After an overload of fun in the snow, we will have the chance to take a dip in a hot spring (onsen).
Please contact me if you are interested in this activity. It will be great to go searching for untracked lines in the place with the world’s best powder snow!

I am a JMGA mountain and ski guide. I started guiding in Hokkaido in 2003. I mainly guide Split boarding in Niseko, Sapporo, and Asahidake areas in wintertime. And I guide Hiking and Climbing in Daisetsuzan, Shiretoko, and Rishiri in Summer time. I want to introduce nature, culture, and local food in Hokkaido.

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.
