School & Guiding specialized in Telemark

Based in the Minami-Aizu Nango Ski Resort and the Aizu-Komagatake area, we are active as a telemark school and a ski guide. The founder was born in Minamiaizu, Fukushima Prefecture. After wandering around Canada, Arctic Inuvik, and Southeast Alaska by bicycle, he encountered Telemark while living in Iwate Prefecture, and in 2011 established Telemark School & Ski Guide Izumiya AK.T. gave.

It is surprisingly difficult to capture the snow in the mountains with telemark, and there are few schools that specialize in it. At "Telemark School & Ski Guide Izumiya AK.T", we will give lectures on skiing and mountain climbing techniques step by step from the ski slopes to the BC.
