Thanks for supporting everyone and here’s to a sore ass tomorrow night!

Great storm coming through the Alps this week. Dumping hard in one of our favorite places, St Anton! Can’t wait to be there in March. If you’ve never been, it’s a must do for skiers.

Are you guys ready for a season of JApOW? . #legrandadventuretours #LGAJapan #japow #japanuary #skiing

Lots and lots of snow pilling up in parts of the Alps with this last storm cycle! It’s been a great start for many places and we can’t wait to get back to Chamonix for our trip this year. Only 3 spots left and it’s going to be good! Some Italian espresso, european powder, and the hospitality of the Haute-Savoie, all part of the Chamonix experience...

Who's ready to go Ski Japan? We are! We have 11 trips touring around Japan this winter to new and classic destinations on two islands. Experience Hokkaido and Honshu with one of our 4 different backcountry/resort combo trips: Furano, Otaru, Niseko, Aomori/Tohoku, and more! Feel like skiing even deeper snow? Our 8 day & 10 day snowcat trips offer up some of the deepest snow on the coast of Hokkaido! We only stay at hotels that we absolutely love, have in house onsens, and we t...ake care of you from start to finish. At the end of the day our guides won’t ditch you after skiing, they’ll show you the classic hotspots and some secret ones from our years of leading trips here. Classic ramen houses, sushi trains, local sake/whiskey tours, and a great cultural experience. Rest assured you’ll have an epic adventure on one of our ski trips and meet some really incredible people as our Ohana continues to grow! We attract like-minded folk that all want to have an epic time adventuring all that Japan has to offer. #LGAJapan #Japow #legrandadventuretours See more

It’s that time of year and we are starting to see the first big snowfalls in the Alps and other parts of the world. This is one of our favorite spots to ski in Europe with access to two countries and home to the original après scene. This years trip is already sold out so get your name on the list for next year or join us on another one of our Europe trips this winter. See you in Europe this winter!

While biking brown pow single track is still the mode of choice right now, Fall is in the air and the temps are starting to drop! Our friends in Hokkaido woke up to this at Asahidake this morning. First snows in Niseko, Otaru and other areas around the world have us thinking of the days ahead this winter. Time to start planning some new powder filled adventures!

Winter is right around the corner and we are getting excited for the season in Japan! A majority of our trips have been booked by private and returning groups with spots open on select trips. If Japan is on your list, we've got some all time trips for you. Choose from 7 different itineraries including 8 Day & 10 day options. We are excited to start offering our latest trip that combines both Hokkaido and Honshu/Tohoku that we have only done as private in the past. For this w...inter we will also have 2 new Snowcat/Backcountry trips in Hokkaido to one of our favorite spots along the coast! Dreams of those deep Japanese ski tours are coming to mind as the anticipation builds. We love skiing powder and lines hidden away from the crowds. Limited spaces remain on our 2020 tours. Time to dust off the snorkel and get ready for winter! #LGAJapan #legrandadventuretours #skiing #snowboarding #japow Film by: Darren Campbell, James Cole, Siig Steven and Realization films.

Our Final Stage at the Giro E Tappa 7 Senigallia to Pesaro - 115km ...a few days late but #TeamENIT is still going strong as we pass the torch to the next crew of riders.

Stage 6 Chieti to L'Aquila - 100km. Breathtaking views, magnificent hairpin turn climb to Popoli and the atmosphere of a mountain stage near the top with offerings from fans of wine and tarallucci for the cyclists on the climb. These ebikes are a lot of fun. They create a lot of momentum but you still have to work hard yourself to keep up in a race. Overall, we simply love them, they make road biking more fun than ever.

After a great day of skiing the boys couldn’t contain themselves and decided to try out our new Scott E1 Patrol airbags! We’re all pretty impressed with how easy these bags are to repack after inflating. SCOTT Wintersports #ElevateYourSafety #NoShortCuts #AmplifyYourVision

The Monte Rosa region is situated at the base of more than 20 of the highest peaks in the Alps reaching up to 13,000 feet. The Monterosa Ski resort, and in particular Alagna, is one of the best areas in the Alps for backcountry skiing and long consistent runs. Enjoy 6 ski days with LGA’s local Italian UIAGM/IFMGA guides into the Freeride Paradise of Alagna! Some claim the backcountry terrain here rivals that of areas like Chamonix & La Grave. However, unlike Chamonix, this is not a destination for nightlife...lights out comes almost directly after dinner to rest up for the ultimate backcountry ski experience. #LGAItaly #epictripsforyoursoul SCOTT Wintersports @ Monterosa

Awesome coverage of our 2019 Image Quest Photo Camps in #Japan by the good folks at Powder. This year we had a great crew of athletes, photographers and other action sports folks and really crushed it. Fantastic job by our lead photo instructors Tom Winter and Jeff Cricco and our Le Grand Adventure Tours guide team. Everyone got plenty of fresh tracks, all the ramen they could eat and created memories and friendships that will last a lifetime. Next year be part of the fun, contact us for more details...

When you have the largest snow base in the world so far this season and after a series of epic storms, it’s time to clear the tracks! It’s turning into a great season in the Alps. Can’t wait to get back there next month Europe is ON!

We couldn’t be more excited to be offering guests on our Japan and Europe trips the new SCOTT Wintersports E1 Patrol Airbags. It really is the ultimate freeskiing airbag on the market. It’s the perfect bag for those super deep Japan days we’ve been having this year on our tours. If you get a chance, check one out, you will be stoked. Its supercapacitor technology, along with exceptional design results in one of the lightest electronic airbag backpacks on the market to date. #SCOTTfreeski #NOSHORTCUTS #ElevateYourSafety SCOTT Sports #LGAJapan #epictripsforyoursoul

Easter coming in Hot! LGA guide Jeff Easter @jeffcricco @imagequestphoto

Taiyaki is a Japanese fish-shaped cake. It imitates the shape of the Tai (Japanese red seabream). The most common filling is red bean paste, custard, chocolate, cheese, or sweet potato. Some shops even sell taiyaki with okonomiyaki, gyoza filling, or a sausage inside. Taiyaki were first invented in Japan in 1909, making the snack over 100 years old, according to the Japan Times. Most people attribute the invention of the fish-shaped treat to a cafe in Toyko called Naniwaya Souhonten. #LGAJapan #epictripsforyoursoul pc: @jeff_easter

It’s been unreal watching these storms hit Europe over the last couple of weeks. Ridiculous amounts of snow in spots and more to come! While we are running Japan trips until February, it’s hard not to think about the bigger lines of the Alps. If you’ve been thinking of a trip to ski in Europe, this could be the time to pull the trigger and do it! Can’t wait to get back to the motherland...

LGA kicks off the season with 6 trips in 8 weeks touring the Northern Island of Hokkaido, Japan. We have an excellent group of athletes and photographers joining us now in Japan for our Image Quest Photo Camps! Stay tuned as we will be sharing their photos that they capture all week!

It was an honor to see LGA owner/guide, Jeff Robertson, nominated for Photo of the Year by Powder Magazine. Jeff Cricco was able to beautifully capture a mystical moment skiing in Japan that brings us back year after year. You can see more of his work in the current Powder Magazine Photo Annual. Thank you Jeff for this priceless memory. Looking forward to being in Japan in 12 days to kick-off another fantastic season of tours! #powderawards #LGAJapan #skiing

Andermatt is calling with 4 meters of snow all ready!!! Switzerland still captures us with awe no matter how many times you see it’s majestic Swiss peaks. 2018 season

Current conditions at SkiArena Andermatt-Sedrun. This is one of our favorite resorts in the Swiss Alps. From the top of the Gemstock it’s 5,000 vert back to town with endless backcountry options to ski. Might be the year to visit the Alps and get a taste of some Swiss powder!

Looks like a solid storm on the horizon for Japan. Some areas look to pick up anywhere from 100-150cm of snow over the next 3-6 days. Spots like Kiroro should be receiving around 100cm, Furano 50cm, Niseko 65cm. We only have a couple spots open on the Image Quest Photo Camps Jan 3-12 Trip #1, with photographers Tom Winter and Jeff Cricco, and 1 spot on the Jan 12-21 Trip #2.
