With so much outstanding terrain to ride, it’s no wonder that Hakuba has emerged as one of the top spots for unforgettable snow adventures in Japan and the world. Known for its light and fluffy powder, it is easy to access and very generous in doling out run after run of impeccable quality. Thanks to the precipitation, moisture, and atmosphere, the snowpack is reliable year in and year out.
Your program places you front and center in this memorable wonderland. With 3,000-meter mountains at every turn, steep lines, and tree-lined runs as far as the eye can see, Hakuba Valley is a vacation for the ages. The alpine bowls and high ridges are never-ending, so there is enough phenomenal terrain to keep you busy for weeks!
Oh yeah – you will also be riding with me, the top-ranked male Freeride World Qualifier in Japan! Board alongside me and I can share some of my secrets and tips. I am not a certified guide, but I am more than happy to discuss my style, habits, and riding techniques. I am currently ranked 46 in the world because of Hakuba and its landscape.
You should be able to asses your own skills, thus determining what level you are capable of riding at. There is no set departure date for this program because I will form the groups as they are needed. My goal is to ride with you on a fun, invigorating, and enchanting day of superior snow conditions.
Don’t put off the snowboarding adventure of a lifetime any longer and book this program IMMEDIATELY! Ride alongside the country’s top-ranked FWQ snowboarder and see what makes Hakuba one of Japan’s finest winter wonderlands!
We can also have a private day program in Hakuba for you and your friends, maybe even more than a day! Or we can join a half-day group program on the iconic snow paradise in the Japanese Alps!

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.
