Hakuba Ski Concierge

Hakuba plays host to adventure all year round - and these amazing participants in the recent OMM JAPAN orienteering event didn't let a summer thunderstorm dampen their spirits as they navigated around the valley, running and biking, and seemingly always smiling, all the way to the finish line at Hakuba47 Mountain Resort 🚴‍♂️🏃‍♀️🗺️

Look who's back! Super excited to announce that Ian McIntosh will be joining us again in Hakuba 🇯🇵 for another very special guided week, exploring the best of the Hakuba Valley together! Want to join him? Signature trip details coming soon... ⛷️🍣🗓️

Taking time to slow down as we head towards next season, Happo Ike and its snow melting mark the start of summer.

A short hike using boardwalks through the delicate alpine ecosystem of the national park, fresh cool air spending slow time watching the snow melt in the pond. Just like winter, heading up early gives the best chance of good condition - to catch the classic reflection of Hakuba's peaks .

Hakuba gathered to celebrate its most decorated winter Olympian Akito Watabe 渡部暁斗 at the iconic ski jumps - taking his jump at the same venue that inspired him to start ski jumping as child watching the Nagano Olympics in his home village!

Not resting on his laurels with 4 Olympic medals in Nordic Combined 🥈🥈🥉🥉but looking to the future of Hakuba, the event brought together junior ski clubs from Hakuba and beyond, alongside Olympians past and present, to think about how the next generation can both learn from their successes and think about the environmental challenges to winter sports - powering the lift for Akito's last jump with electricity generated with pedal power! 💪

A huge thank you to everyone involved for this joyous and forward-thinking event for the next generation of skiers in Hakuba!

🎿 It's not just the snowboarders taking advantage of the soft grooomed runs and sunny spring days here at ☀️
When the goals are building confidence and developing good technique earlier in your skiing journey, spring time is great for levelling up on-piste at your own pace, and taking first steps into more challenging terrain with those new skills!

Spring conditions in March make a great environment for starting your journey on snow in Hakuba ☀️🏂

First steps in learning to snowboard can be a challenging to take - the snowboard team bringing their care, attention to detail, and expert knowledge, to make it safe and progressive - and having fun with these amazing new and improving riders in the sun this week at 🗻

Spring morning team training with our TD all around the sunny groomers and bumps of and with instructors working towards the highest levels - their level 4.

Taking time out to bring the team together for training like this keeps our team at the top of their game, constantly learning and progressing - and passing on that to our guests of all levels!

Yesterday was International Women's Day and keeping that conversation in the spotlight, here's to the women to Hakuba Ski Concierge!

As a ski school founded and lead by a woman, supporting women in the ski industry is at the core of our mission to support the professional development of instructors on and off the snow, year on year.

From piste to powder, leadership, team building, instructors and sales team, this is just a small glimpse of the huge contribution of the women throughout the Hakuba Ski Concierge team!
