What you can book
All lessons are private — your group only. Prices below are the lowest of the season.
Half day · 3 hours
Best for first timers, jet-lagged arrival days, and children under 7.
Not available at Rusutsu Ski Resort or Kiroro Ski Resort.
Full day · 6 hours
The usual choice. Enough time to cover terrain beyond the beginner area.
Multi-day
Mix half days and full days, change resort between days, and keep the same instructor.
Priced by adding each day together — no package lock-in.
Families & children
Minimum age 4 for skiing, 5 for snowboarding. Under 7 we recommend one instructor per child.
A family can split into groups, each with its own instructor, on one booking.
Prices vary by resort and season. See every rate

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
