ABOUT

Developed by Richard Smith in 2014, Ongosa was born from his love of the mountains and his desire to enhance the mountain sport experience for everyone, creating a facility to make snow sports more accessible for all.

Richard says "We believe the right local & technical knowledge enhances the adventure sports experience. Ongosa is dedicated to cultivating a community of professionals and enthusiasts to provide a unique service available to all. We aim to provide a straightforward facility to find and book the right instructor with ease.”

Ongosa have built a community of mountain sport professionals with expert knowledge, experience and skill in order to directly improve the experience of snow sport addicts looking into their next adventure. “I was looking for a ski-touring guide in the French Alps during the Easter week and was told by other ski schools that I was ‘too late’ and no one was available. The team at Ongosa worked hard to find me an independent guide and hooked me up with Marco– who proved to be excellent."

Ongosa Client, Bill Sneed, April 2016

Ongosa’s community includes instructors of all levels in ski and snowboard, as well as specialist professionals in mountaineering, heli-guiding, trekking, backcountry and climbing across Europe. All instructors on Ongosa have been carefully selected for their experience, qualifications and love of the mountains.

“We think everyone should have the opportunity to meet these elite specialists, especially as many of them make a living out of guiding or teaching, but survive on reputation and word-of-mouth. Ongosa has set out on a mission to make adventure sports more accessible, by connecting people who have shared interests in learning and teaching, guiding and exploring.
