Kaito
Bio
Originally from Osaka, Japan, I fell in love with the outdoors of Hokkaido and have chosen to stay here. I’ve spent years mastering the local mountains and enjoy sharing my expertise with riders of all levels.
I use my strong understanding of Hokkaido’s unique snow conditions and terrain to help skiers and snowboarders improve their technique while exploring the best powder that Hokkaido has to offer. I have a passion for teaching and love for the mountains. My goal is to make every lesson a fun and amazing experience for you!

Tobias
Bio
I’m originally from Denmark and have spent over 9 seasons skiing around the world. The majority of those seasons have been in Japan, where I was drawn in by the incredible powder and culture.
I am excited that I get to teach others and share the joy of skiing here in Hokkaido. I chose Rusutsu as the home for my ski instructing because of it’s world-class terrain, deep snow, and uncrowded slopes offering the perfect setting for both progression and adventure. And of course, the tasty 7/11 snacks as well.
