Ski & Adventure Travel Writer, Resort Consultant and Owner, Snowsports Instructor, Guide at Hakuba Ski Concierge

Bio

Born and raised in the south east of England​,​ I arrived in Japan in 2010​,​ drawn by the ski resorts of Hakuba​,​ a mountain village in Japan’s Northern Alps. Having spent many happy holidays on the Austrian ski slopes as a child​,​ and following several successful seasons of snowsport instruction in Canada and Europe​,​ Hakuba swiftly became home. In 2016 I founded Hakuba Ski Concierge​,​ a luxury ski school operating out of Hakuba47 Winter Sports Park. As our lessons and guiding services are exclusively private​,​ our focus is very much on delivering high-end​,​ unique and fully customized experiences in the mountains. After 14 years of instructing and guiding individuals and groups from all walks of life​,​ my love of creating memories in the mountains with our guests only deepens with time.

Message

Just as no two people are the same​,​ neither should any one day in the mountains be. I believe in truly guest-centered experiences where the interests​,​ needs and desires of the guests are heard and used to build something unforgettable. Personally​,​ I am happy whenever I am on the slopes whether that is a 40 degree one in the backcountry or side stepping up the bunny hill. Just as there is magic in seeing a first timer string together their first few turns​,​ so too is there when a person cracks carving​,​ discovers powder or has their best day in the backcountry yet. Whatever the age​,​ interest or skill level few things give me greater kicks in life than sharing the magic of the mountains with others.
