Mike Richards

Mike is a professional ski instructor based in Niseko Resort, Hokkaido, Japan since 2006. Came to the sport later in life – my first ski season was chalet host in Ellmau, Austria in 1993 at 27 years of age – and skied every year since in over 100 resorts and backcountry areas across 21 countries and 5 continents including my beloved Brecon Beacons National Park.
