Important information:

• An advanced instructor is an individual who possesses at least a Level 3 certification from an internationally recognized snowsports association. This certification requires a minimum of 320 hours of education and assessment. Additionally, the instructor must have taught for at least three full seasons.
• The sessions are primarily conducted in English; however, Japanese-speaking lessons can be arranged based on availability.
• Pick-up and drop-off services are included for private sessions at accommodations located within the Niseko United area only.
• Ski lessons for children aged 3 to 5, and snowboard sessions for 6-year-olds, will be conducted as individual sessions limited to half a day. Please note that children aged 3 to 5 are considered too young for snowboard sessions.
• For half-day and full-day sessions, children aged 6 to 11 (or 7 to 11 for snowboarding) can join a session with up to five other children. Participants aged 12 and older are allowed to share a session with adults, with a maximum of five participants for both ski and snowboard sessions.
• We may not be able to schedule lessons that include both adults and children together.
• Group sessions will exclusively take place at DotBase in Grand Hirafu. A minimum of two participants is required to hold a session, and they should gather outside the DotBase ticket office 15 minutes before the start time.
