Private Lessons

Winter in Niseko is a unique experience that is beyond words. Whether you are taking lessons to improve your riding skills or just looking for some tips on where to enjoy local cuisine, we are here to help.

On Snow

First time on the slopes can be exciting for some or a little intimidating for others — we are here to guide you every step of the way and making sure you have a good time while you progress from making your first turn to navigating your way around the mountains and exploring that off-piste track!

If you are the adrenalin junkie seeking to push the limit, look no further. Let us take you to the hidden drops and powder stashes that really is uniquely Niseko. Join us for powder rides, tree runs, or speed laps during Niseko's famous night ski sessions. We know the mountains inside-out.

Whatever you are looking for, let us show you the local's way to enjoy Niseko!

Options

Lesson duration
Choose from Half-day (3-hour) or Full-day (6-hour). Full day lesson includes 1 hour lunch break. Evening lesson available from 17:00. Feel free to take rest breaks during lesson.
Ski or Snowboard?
If this is your first time and you are not sure which to go for, talk to us and we are happy to share our experience with you. Please note only one discipline, either ski or snowboard, is possible in one lesson.
Languages
Our instructors speak Mandarin, Cantonese or English. Let us know your preference so there is no “Lost in Translation”. Our instructors are from Hong Kong and Taiwan. Choosing the lesson language costs nothing. If you would like a Hong Kong instructor or a lesson in Cantonese, just let us know — it depends on their availability on the day, so please ask early in peak season. Requesting one specific instructor by name is a paid add-on; see the rates below.
Ski resorts
We recommend Hirafu or Annupuri especially if this is your first time. Please note lesson cannot commence from Hanazono. We also teach at Rusutsu, Kiroro and in the Sapporo area (Sapporo Kokusai, Teine, Bankei and Onze) — see the rates for each area below. Please enquire for other ski resorts in Hokkaido.
Group size
Group size is limited to 1-4 people so our instructor can give undivided attention to your group. We also recommend adults and children take separate lessons, and strongly recommend private one-to-one lessons for children under 6.
Pick-up / drop-off services
For private lessons and the Beginner Package, we offer pick-up and drop-off services within the Niseko area (excluding Niseko Village) for an additional fee: JPY 5,000 for a round trip or JPY 3,000 for a one-way trip. Transport is already included in the All-in-One package.
