Sapporo Kokusai Ski Resort 1 Day Ski Tour (HTO Certified)

As complete beginners who had never tried snowboarding before, we were honestly quite nervous at first. However, Xunxun (询询) was incredibly kind and patient throughout the entire session. She taught us a lot of useful techniques, from how to control the snowboard to how to protect ourselves when falling. Beyond just the technical skills, she also provided amazing emotional support, making us feel comfortable and less afraid. Thanks to her encouragement, we were able to truly enjoy the snowboarding experience. 情绪价值满满的！ Overall, it was absolutely worth it for beginners like us. Our trainer was 101% perfect, and we will definitely look for her again the next time we visit Hokkaido 👍

My colleague warned me that you definitely need to hire an instructor for your first time skiing, and I originally thought it was too expensive, but I'm glad I did. Skiing is really not something you can learn just by watching YouTube tutorials. The package I signed up for included all equipment except gloves and a helmet. I recommend renting a helmet, it's only 1500 yen. I think it's really convenient to sign up for this Klook tour. The organizer is a ski equipment rental shop, and they drive you to the ski resort in an SUV and guide you to put on your equipment. The main thing is that the ski instruction is very detailed. The instructor uses multiple languages ​​to explain each movement to you one-on-one and helps you get on track. After practicing in the beginner area, the instructor will assess whether you can ski down from the top. I signed up for the twin-tip ski tour, which has fewer people. There are a lot of snowboarders. The advantage of having fewer people is that the instructor can be there to block you in time in case of danger, and ski down the mountain with you. Although I went on the beginner green line at Sapporo Kokusai Ski Resort, some parts of it were still very steep. If you can't make an S-turn, you'll just go straight down like a roller coaster, which is scary. I skied for 45 minutes while falling and learning. I think the experience is great, and I would highly recommend signing up for this tour, regardless of whether you want to develop skiing as a hobby in the future.

We had an amazing time learning and playing in the snow! Snowboarding was such a fun experience, and our guide/instructor, Mio, made it even better. He was incredibly patient, explained everything clearly, and was such a great teacher throughout the whole session. Five stars for his dedication—not only did he teach us well, but he also took high-quality videos of us on the slopes so we could relive the fun. We highly recommend this tour, and especially Mio, to anyone looking for a memorable snowboarding experience!

We highly recommend this tour! From meet-up to the ski resort, smooth transportation (back and forth). The equipments we needed were already ready upon arrival. Our guide is really really good, she really tried her best to teach us first timers in snowboarding; also, she knows when someone is struggling and doubles the effort to teach and help the person. The morning session was more into basic snowboarding training, and in the afternoon was the advance level where we will go to the summit then go down! We're able to play with the snow happily! Thank you very much!

This is the activity you need for your very first time doing any ski/snowboard activity. Everything you need to consider is all set in this package. 1 day of activity that will guarantee you a worry free day of learning how to snowboard/ski 🏂🎿 These are my personal favorites from this package: ✅ Meeting and drop off point is very convenient ✅ Snowboard equipments and ski outfit were all complete and ready by the time we arrived at the ski resort ✅ CC, our driver, instructor, photographer/videographer is the best! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ And thumbs up for being really kind, helpful, and patient! I don’t know how many times I fell and how many times he helped me stand up. Really appreciate it! He really made sure everyone in the group was able to snowboard safely. I highly recommend CC! Thank you so much, CC! 👍🏻 This made me want to snowboard again for the next winter season! ☃️ *Suggesting that there could be an option to remove the other items such as ski outfits, googles, and as such

This is a very worthwhile ski experience course, perfect for first-timers. The course is well-organized, and special thanks to the twin-tip ski instructor, Aria, for her careful and patient teaching, which made the whole learning and experience process very reassuring and brought this ski experience to a perfect end. Safety is the most important thing in skiing, and this course includes all the necessary ski equipment, which is very friendly to beginners. You only need to prepare a warm face mask and thick socks yourself. The overall experience is very relaxed and burden-free, and it is worth recommending.

This trip is absolutely amazing and highly recommended! Coach Amiao mio's teaching is easy to understand. I learned how to do the gliding wedge and falling leaf techniques in just one morning. They also took photos and videos during the process, capturing cool and stable shots that I absolutely love. I can immediately post them on IG and show off 🤣. Additionally, the separate chalet at the snow resort for changing and dining is very comfortable, avoiding the crowds. The whole trip was perfect for me as a beginner on my first day. I usually don't write reviews, but I give this trip over 100 points!! I will definitely come again~ Thank you, coaches! 😆

Had a great skiing ⛷️ experience, thanks to Coach Caishen's company. The coach is very patient, and he accompanied and trained each of the group members one by one. We were all beginners, so having a good coach really added to the experience and ensured safety, haha. Finally, we also went on the beginner slope to try it out. Although not very skilled, the overall activity felt very happy! If I have the chance, I will come again~ By the way, the scenery on the road and at the ski resort is also very beautiful, and the photos are very photogenic 🤭

From the moment she stepped onto the ski resort, Xun Xun showed her sense of security. Xun Xun breaks down complex skiing techniques into simple steps and uses simple metaphors to explain the principles of center of gravity transfer and braking, so that even beginners can quickly understand. During the process, Xunxun was always able to accurately detect the students' nervousness, carefully analyzed every step, and pointed out my inappropriate habits one by one. Moreover, Xunxun does not blindly apply fixed teaching models. The instructor will flexibly adjust the guidance method based on the students' physical coordination and psychological state. For example, for people who are afraid of speed, rhythm control is emphasized, and for people with body stiffness, visual cues are used to assist. This tailor-made teaching enabled me, who had poor balance, to quickly master skiing skills. When I officially stepped on the double board and started to try to slide, she even helped me fix my posture in front of me so that I could find my balance at a slow speed. This kind of guidance without any sense of oppression made me willing to give it a try, and before I knew it, I was able to slide down the beginner slope smoothly! The company's commitment to safety is also impressive. From safely holding the equipment to the posture of falling to the ground, the inquiry always considers potential risks in advance. She even took the initiative to adjust the tightness of the students' protective gear. And observe everyone's physical condition to ensure that no one is forcing themselves to practice. This delicate observation ability made me, a first-time skier, feel at ease and able to fully focus on enjoying the process. She also took me to the top of the mountain in the afternoon to find some beautiful locations for taking photos. She helped us take photos and taught us how to pose for them. She also explained what the backgrounds were from different angles, such as the direction in which we could take photos of Otaru. During the teaching process, he would also use his mobile phone to record us, so that I could keep a record of my success. This journey made me deeply realize that a good coach is not only a technical instructor, but also a builder of learning confidence. Thank you for using your professionalism and enthusiasm to transform skiing into an adventure full of fulfillment.
