What the price includes

Included
  • Instruction for your whole group, up to 4 people
  • Japan’s 10% consumption tax
  • Breaks and equipment fitting time · one hour for lunch on full days
  • Meeting point and instructor contact sent the day before
Not included

  • Travel insurance covering skiing and snowboarding — required
  • Hotel transfer — available separately, must be booked in advance

Guaranteed instructor with reserved time slot

Optional. When you request an instructor by name, the fee buys three specific things:

  • That instructor teaches your lesson

    Not “someone of a similar level”. If we cannot honour it, we tell you before you pay.

  • Their time slot is held for you

    The slot is blocked in our roster as soon as the request is confirmed.

  • You see their full profile first

    Certification level, languages and disciplines — before you decide.

The fee is listed as its own line on your quote, so you always see what it costs. Meet the instructors
