Meet the guides! ❄️⛷️👀

Kinga has lived in Japan for 8 years, originally from Poland. I believe this review she received last year encapsulates her beautifully: “Our guide Kinga is a very talented skier and guide. Her knowledge of the many ski villages was impeccable both on and off piste. She shared amazing knowledge of the prefecture and surrounds including a famous Ninja Shrine and amazing summer hiking adventures throughout the incredible Japanese alps. My family and I are even more keen to return not only to ski but to hike and mountain bike in summer. Just goes to show a guide can do so much more than show the way. Eight years in the area really does count for something. Thank you Kinga for your very special and soulful way. My family will always remember how kind and generous in spirit you were. Your approach seemed so effortless and that’s a testament to the special human you are.” 💚🌿
