Hokkaido POW!

Krich
06/05/2026
Gabro is amazing at finding the good pow! He has two Hokkaido homes that he utilizes for guests depending on where the best conditions are. Gabro checks weather 30 times a day and is always on top of where the best snow is! He will adjust your trip based on how much inbounds, side country or back country your group wants. His understanding of the resorts and back country is phenomenal!

Gabro will get you to the good stuff!
Gabro has authentic Japanese homes close to the best POW!
Gabro and Laura will feed you delicious breakfasts every morning!
Gabro is a full on character that will keep you laughing!
Gabro loves snow the way a fat kid loves cake! (I know totally not pc but so true!)
With Life in White you can have your cake and eat it too!
Spend a week with Gabro! Will be the funniest and best week of your winter!

Super stoked on this snow hound! He gets it done! ✅ ❄️🏔️

My second trip with Gabro after hitting Chile. Cozy and amazing lodging in Otaru, but most importantly incredible guiding and conditions every day. Gabro kept us safe and on top of the best snow anywhere on Hokkaido. I will be back - truly the trip of a lifetime.

Adventures in Hokkaido

Spent an awesome 10 days in Hokkaido with Gabro. Couldn’t have asked for a better guide! Whole trip was expertly planned, the accommodations were very comfortable, the company was top notch, and the powder was deep. If you want to have yourself the best possible Hokkaido experience do yourself a favor and book this guy.

Pow Delux with Gabro

Sebastian Ober

Thanks, Gabro, we had an exceptional great time with you. It was overall an amazing experience to explore not only the best skiing grounds in Hokkaido but also great Onsen and Ramen places. Building the kicker for Nils’ double backflip at the base of Mount Yotei is a lasting memory. We are looking forward to skiing with you again.

I had the best time with Gabro - not only did he take great care of us but also the resort choices and touring options were incredible.
10/10 recommendation for anybody that wants to experience Hokkaido the real & authentic way.
He adapts so well to the level of the guests that we never fell short on anything.

Thank you, will come again 100%! The only thing you will have to help him with is superior restaurant choices :D

Best Snow Trip of my life

Peter Bellido

The title speaks for itself. Everything was beyond my expectations and I assure you that my expectations going to Japan were very high.
Our guide Gabriel knows exactly were the good snow is and he takes you there safely, but most importantly he knows how to skip the crowds and the best Onsens and Restaurants.
I will definitely repeat and I highly recommend trusting him for your Japanese adventure.

What can I say about my experience with the guys of Life in White in Japan.....I'll make it short and clear: THE BEST SNOWBOARD TRIP OF MY LIFE , BY FAR!!!
Laura and Gabriel are incredible guides and very friendly. Their good energy is contagious since early morning when they knock in the door of your motorhome until the very last moment of the night when we all go to sleep. You really feel that they know and love what they are doing.
Looking forward to join another of their tours soon, maybe Chile!

Life in white experience

Javier
07/12/2023
NB this review is from Japow Freedom 1.0 when the trip was undertaken in a motorhome

It's the dream of every rider who likes freeriding, my last three trips have been in motorhomes, so for me it was perfect and great to discover the mountains of Japan in a van, I think you get to know more places and makes you live and feel more the country. Traveling with two guides gives you the opportunity in a bit more than a week to enjoy powder runs and terrain that otherwise would take you years to find out by yourself. Gabriel knows the terrain like the palm of his hand and also can make you die laughing. Laura takes care of every detail and everyone's safety, it's like having a mom on the mountain. They are a perfect team! My traveling companions were great and I enjoyed to the fullest every corner, typical food and traditions of Japan. An unforgettable experience that I will not hesitate to repeat!
