Gregory Liechti

SB / Ski / Guide

Gregory has made Niseko his home for many winters and has spent seasons teaching skiing and snowboarding in mountains around the world. His background on snow is extensive, but what matters most to him is creating an easy, enjoyable experience for each guest. Lessons with Gregory are adapted to your pace and style, whether you’re looking for deep turns in the trees, a relaxed day on groomers, or a mix of both.

Comfortable on both skis and a snowboard, he brings a calm and steady approach to guiding. Gregory also offers off-piste and cat-skiing trips, as well as cultural experiences that give a quieter look at Japan—like visiting small onsens or local eateries away from the crowds.

He follows the idea of ikigai—finding purpose in sharing what he enjoys. Safety is always central, but the focus stays on keeping the day relaxed, enjoyable, and memorable in a natural way.

On and off the mountain, Gregory keeps things straightforward and genuine. From offering trip advice to pointing out favourite local spots, he works to make sure each day flows smoothly and feels personal without overcomplicating things.

For Gregory, time in Niseko is about more than just skiing or snowboarding. It’s about good turns, good company, and small details that make the mountains special.
