Ole Takai // Founder of Twenty Eighty and passionated freeride skier
This Isn’t Just a Ski Trip. It’s Access.
You can book Niseko through a travel agent. You can’t buy this.
This is a journey into a different Japan — where the deep silence of Hokkaido powder meets the energy and pulse of Tokyo. It’s an experience shaped by local knowledge, personal networks, and places rarely open to outsiders. A trip built on friendships, family ties, and connections that take you far beyond the usual paths.
18–28 January 2026
Who It’s For
Danish business leaders who know the difference between expensive and exclusive — and who understand that real luxury is access to people, places, and perspectives you can’t Google.
- Founders, CEOs, and senior executives with a passion for freeride skiing.
- Leaders who see value in combining world-class powder with fresh perspectives on Japan’s business, design, and cultural landscape.
- People who enjoy meaningful conversation as much as perfect turns.
- Those who want to explore the Japanese market in an informal, experience-driven setting, guided by local connections.
Why Come
Because the best snow lines, like the best business opportunities, rarely sit in plain sight. You have to know where to look, who to talk to, and when to drop in.
This trip isn’t just about world-class powder — it’s also a rare chance to gain perspective on Japan’s business, design, and cultural landscape through local conversations and experiences you won’t find in a boardroom or guidebook.
The perfect combination if you love food, freeride skiing, and seeing new business opportunities from a different angle.
-
Market insight from Japanese founders and creatives over private dinners.
-
World-class powder guided by local experts.
-
Private photo & video sessions to capture the perfect line and bring the memories home.
