Our deep local experience means you can plan your time in Niseko with peace of mind. Here are a few things worth knowing. ### Can family members or friends share a private lesson? Yes, but for the best experience, participants should have similar abilities and learning goals. Kids and adults should not be mixed, as the teaching methods and learning curves are very different. ### Are lift passes and ski equipment included? These are booked separately. Confirm what your lesson includes and arrange suitable equipment and lift passes before you arrive. ### Where do we meet? If meeting on snow, the meeting point will be confirmed at the time of booking. If pick-up is included, this will be a door-to-door transfer. ### Do lessons include lunch? On a full-day lesson you will stop for a lunch break, either on or off the mountain, but lunch is not included in the lesson price. Typically, the instructor will join you for lunch. ![](https://d2smd08xgped62.cloudfront.net/activities/_960xAUTO_crop_center-center_none/hokkaido-core-32.jpg) ![](https://d2smd08xgped62.cloudfront.net/activities/_960xAUTO_crop_center-center_none/hokkaido-core-13.jpg) ![](https://d2smd08xgped62.cloudfront.net/activities/_960xAUTO_crop_center-center_none/explore-backcountry.jpg) ![](/assets/img/halftone-reverse.webp)## Why choose us? ### 01 International Lessons − Our professional instructors combine expert coaching with genuine local knowledge, creating safe, enjoyable and rewarding experiences tailored to you.
