Appi Kogen Ski Resort Private Ski Instructor Course

Coach Liu is truly very patient. I would definitely want to find her again next time and would recommend her to friends and family. Sharing my experience: After checking out of the Crowne Plaza Hotel, I went to the Yamato Transport (Ta-Q-Bin) counter on B1 of the ski center to deposit one piece of luggage for 1000 yen. Only IC cards are accepted, no cash. I filled out the snow gear rental form online in advance. At the counter, I provided a screenshot of the reservation form. I picked out clothes, pants, shoes, and a helmet in the appropriate sizes myself. I brought my own gloves and goggles. I lined up at the counter to get skis and poles. The coach assisted us throughout the entire process, rescuing us from our confusion. Basic instruction in the morning, lunch break at noon, and in the afternoon, she took everyone on the gondola to the ski slope. She held onto the coach on the steeper slopes, and on the gentler slopes, the coach would let go but still kept a close eye on us, protecting us very well and allowing us to go from feeling nervous to enjoying the sensation of skiing. There was even time to ski down the slope twice to improve our technique. Thank you, Coach Liu, for allowing our family of three to have such a rewarding experience and reducing the amount of time we would have spent figuring things out on our own. Highly recommended! 👍 The snow at Appi Kogen is really powdery.

A really excellent class with Hsuan. She met us in the reception area of the ski resort at 9am and we went on the central quad lift and then the gondola. My goals were to have fun and work on my turns. Hsuan really paid attention to what I was doing wrong and helped me improve my turns in just a three hour class. It was a lot of fun and I was happy to gain more confidence on the snow. She also took us to the waves area where there are a few little hills. We appreciated the photos and videos she took. Communication in the lead up to the class was excellent with contact via WhatsApp.

My husband and I took this course and were delighted to meet Coach Xuan from Taiwan. She was very thoughtful in reminding us of the precautions in advance and patiently taught us the basics step by step. She also helped us record videos and short clips!With my existing fitness foundation, I was able to pick it up quickly.

Booked a snowboard instructor through Klook and it was the best decision. It was my first time snowboarding while my friend had done it a couple of times, so our skill levels were quite different. Instead of trying to figure things out ourselves, having an instructor made the experience so much better. Our instructor Hsuan was extremely patient. She asked about our expectations and adjusted the lesson to a pace that both of us were comfortable with. She balanced our time really well despite our different levels, making sure we both learned and enjoyed the session without overdoing it. Highly recommend booking an instructor, especially for beginners!

I had only skied once before and knew just a few basic techniques. At Appi Kogen, I took a 1.5-day lesson with a coach who patiently taught me various techniques and corrected small movements that were affecting my skiing, which helped me improve very quickly. She basically took me down all the green runs at Appi. Before the lesson, the coach also contacted me to confirm the meeting time and place, and during the lesson, she paid attention to my physical condition and adjusted the itinerary accordingly. After taking lessons with the coach, I skied with friends for another day and was largely able to keep up with them, enjoying the fun of skiing. Highly recommended!

ski instructor Hsuan was really good in giving good tips, i took the gondola up for the first time and really enjoyed the longest green slope at appi!

Huge thanks to Coach Liu from Appi Kogen for the amazing instruction! I'm so proud to have unlocked new skills! Looking forward to hitting the slopes with you again next time!

I had such a great time learning to ski with instructor Hsuan. In just two 6-hour sessions, she helped me get the hang of snow plough and turning. Her instructions were very clear, and she kept it challenging enough for me. By the end, I felt confident skiing down beginner slopes—something I didn’t think I’d manage so quickly! Definitely recommend her if you’re new to skiing and want to learn the right way from the start.

Thank you, Teacher Liu, for your enthusiastic guidance. The teacher is especially patient, so the children's skills have greatly improved, and they all really like the teacher's teaching methods.
