Once you arrive in Japan you will embark on a 3-day / 2-night Tokyo Experience with a cultural awareness breakfast, sightseeing and plenty of seasonal preparation & support. We'll meet you at the airport and get your gear transferred to Niseko. Transportation, accommodation and group meals are included.

After settling into Niseko you will start with group lessons learning the basics of skiing. You'll be training 6 hours/day with days off to rest and practice. At the halfway point we'll review your progress and determine if you are ready to move to the level 1 training and exam which are both included. Groups are at a maximum 8:1 ratio making it easier for you to get tailored support. There will be a week long learn to snowboard camp during the season so you can learn how to surf the snow!

Accommodation for the full 11 weeks is included. You'll be staying in Kutchan which is a quick drive to the resort with dedicated transport. You'll be 5 minutes away from the restaurants, bars and grocery stores. Rooms are twin or triple share with others on the program. There is a full kitchen, dining room, lounges and gear storage. Your season pass provides you with access to all 4 resorts in Niseko.

We'll be out there getting heaps of video and photos during your training and free skiing/riding. You'll have full access to everything and we'll put some shred and progression videos together so you can see and share your development over the season. We will provide video analysis to help fine tune your technique.

Food is such an integral part of the Niseko experience. We’ll be exploring the different restaurants and hot spots Niseko has to offer as part of our Japanese Culinary Experience. Meals are self-catered and there is a full kitchen and a number of supermarkets close by. We’ll also travel to Sapporo for the Snow Festival and some karaoke (when in Japan…you sing!)

You'll be new to the snow when you start but your skills will develop dramatically and this will open the door to working as an instructor in the future. We'll be inviting industry veterans to a few of our group dinners to give you insight and help answer any questions.  We'll review your CV, help you create a introduction video for hiring managers, walk you through visa applications and leverage our international network for job placement.

We are so confident that your skills will improve so dramatically through our program that if you attend all of our training days and you feel that you aren’t where you want to be, we’ll provide you with an additional 5 days of training that you can use to continue working on any specific skill of your choice. But we’re pretty sure your Insta feed will be so full of shred that everyone will be in awe of your new mad skills.
