The trip was an unforgettable experience which I definitely want to do again and I can highly recommend Sherpas Ride, you will enjoy the time with Sherpas Ride to the fullest! Thank you Vojta, Kuba, Cyril and Thomas for everything!!

Vojta, Cyril, Kuba and Thomas run a top notch guiding company. They led my group on an amazing 8 day trip in Hokkaido during the second half of February 2017. They prayed to the snow gods and we were rewarded with 6 feet (~150 CM) of light delicious JaPow over the 8 days, surfing snow all over the region. It was beyond epic. Great bunch of dudes, highly competent guides, I would ride with them any day! Highly recommend Sherpas Ride for anyone considering hitting up Japan or any of their other awesome trips.

What a blast! We had the most epic trip with the boys from Sherpas Ride. Vojta assembled a very good group with strong riders. We got blessed with the weather and found fresh powder lines every day. Vojta always made sure to keep us busy and entertained – no day like the previous one, new highlights every day!! I 100% recommend this camp. If you want to have a great time in japan with easy going guides that ski hard and always find fresh powder stashes at a really decent price, look no further.

Vojta and Tomas were the best guides who were able to find fresh japow all the time and Kuba is a great cook who makes excellent starters of the day (breakfast). Be prepared for tons of snow, freezing cold temperatures and a lot of faceshots. Freeride camp and the road trip camp were the best ski trip in my life so far. Thank you once again!

What an experience! Vojta, Tomas, Cyril and Kuba run a great camp with good balance of ski touring and lift access to get to the best lines of the day. I liked the idea of not having daily program set in stone but rather wait for morning weather report to decide on the best option for the day. I highly recommend Sherpas ride for Japow experience.

The guides give always their best to find untracked powder… even if you think it s not possible due e.g. a bad weather day, be sure THEY will find it! Keep on going like that guys!
