Jeff Pensiero
Baldface Lodge Creator, Real Living Legend
“Eduardo is all of the enthusiasm and anticipation of a deep powder day, combined with the Authenticity of an Ancient Japanese Onsen wrapped up into one person. To be able to tour powdery fields of flowing freshness with a prince of Powder like Eduardo is an exquisite example of being “in the right place at the right time”. And thats the thing about traveling with travelers, no matter where you find yourself, with the right friends with the right attitude, you are always “in the right place at the right time”. This is what Eduardo and crew have been distilling over the years and are now offering it to the world in exclusive, hand crafted packages that will be sure to create the vibe, the memories, and the experience that will make a trip with Eduardo to ALKALINE LODGE something that will stay with you for the rest of your life.”

“Iโve known Eduardo a long time and sure you have created something awesome in the powder kingdom when you know it starts snowing and donโt know when it will end.Like you say Creator not Emulator .”

Mike Ranquet

“Eduardo is a great friend and real character and I can’t wait to ride with him again. Couldn’t think of a better guide around Hokkaido, his knowledge and passion about snowboarding combined with his peculiar personality makes him as entertaining as he is informative.”
