Philip Grahame Welch

Originally from London, I’ve made Niseko, Japan, my home for the past decade, drawn by its epic powder and vibrant snowboarding community. Over the last ten seasons, I’ve honed my skills as a snowboard instructor and guide, specialising in teaching avalanche safety courses and leading unforgettable adventures like heli-skiing, cat-skiing, and backcountry tours. In the summer months, I keep busy running a firewood business and guiding rafting trips, while also sharing my expertise as a mountain guide on the iconic slopes of Mt. Fuji. Passionate about snowboarding and the mountains, I thrive on sharing these passions with others, ensuring every experience is both exhilarating and safe.
