TO ALL SNOWBOARDERS
Yes, this trip is 100% for you too
We know it’s all “ski this, ski that", but rest assured, everything you see applies to snowboarders too. The terrain, the guiding, the stoke, the splitboarding. The word ski just happens to dominate the snow industry (and the SEO game).

"We had a great time with Gonçalo in Nozawa Onsen. It was my first time on the slope, and his fun and straightforward teaching built my confidence by helping me understand my strengths and weaknesses. I'm excited for his new project and look forward to seeing him soon in Nozawa Onsen!"
ALISON, AUSTRALIA
"I attended a five-day group ski course with Gonçalo in Nozawa Onsen to improve my technique. Gonçalo’s professionalism and individual feedback ensured maximum benefit for everyone. Skiing with him was fun and filled with useful tips, tailored guidance, and lots of laughs. My skills and confidence improved significantly, enhancing my enjoyment of skiing. He also offered great restaurant recommendations, making the most of the Nozawa Onsen experience. I'm excited about Shaper Retreats and wish him every success."

"Gonzalo was exactly the teacher I needed to fine-tune my ski technique. With nearly a decade of skiing experience, I appreciated his clear, concise explanations and drills to improve my weaknesses. His patience and understanding gave me the confidence to tackle the most advanced terrain I've skied so far. I wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone, regardless of expertise level. I look forward to another adventure with Shaper Retreats!"
