Description
For a half-day, I would like to ski with you on the incredible slopes of Hakuba, Japan.
Located on the main island of Honshu, only 270 kilometers northwest of Tokyo, Hakuba is home to a number of fantastic resorts. Each one of these resorts, from Cortina and Jigatake to Norikura are home to some of Japan’s best powder.
I am the ninth ranked freeride world qualifier skier in Japan. I also have a great deal of experience skiing on the slopes of Hakuba. As a result, I can offer a great deal of advice on the area’s array of fantastic slopes. I will offer you tips to improve your technique, and I will help you push yourself to improve as a skier. I will also show you around the chosen resort, helping selected the best runs that fit your skill level and preferences.
During the winter skiing season, Hakuba receives a great deal of snow. In fact, it receives between eleven to thirteen meters!
To participate on this group trip, you should be able to ski at a minimum intermediate level.
People from around the world visit Hakuba in hopes of enjoying its vast selection of runs. And on this trip, you will get to enjoy those runs with a local professional, something I believe will make your experience even better. To be a part of this trip, just send me a request. I look forward to skiing with you!
I also offer a full day version of this group trip, which you can enjoy here.

I was born in Osaka. During my teens, I spent some time in the country side and, ever since, then I've been attracted to the mountains.
I'm currently a professional ski bum based in Hakuba!! My freeriding motto is to always try new things from the top of a mountain all the way to the bottom.
Whether it be sunny, blizzarding, or even raining, I can propose a way to have fun in the mountains!
I've travelled around the globe with my skis - all over Japan, Alaska, Canada and New Zealand.
If you just want to try out fat skis or if you are a hardcore skier who wants to ski until you can't move, I would love to show you around my hood!
I will show you how to use the natural terrain to produce your own style of freeriding. From carving to aggressive riding, let me know what you're after!

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.
