Reviews
We were so lucky to have Feng Liang, a Chinese instructor from Taiwan, who took us on different cable car routes, encouraged us to try different slopes, and helped us successfully learn to turn smoothly this time. We are also very grateful to the instructor for taking many photos and videos for us, leaving us with many memories of this skiing trip. We are really very happy!
The coach is very nice and handled very well even if the are two different levels inside the group, we are able to complete all green lines by the end of the day.
We chose the 3 hour afternoon class with the instructor. great to have an instructor with us because it’s our first time here.
our coach Mr Chen was so experienced and patient to us the adult students - we had some great learning time with him and were able to pic up the sports in a half day course.
Coach: Very friendly and patient, thank you.
The coach was really knowledgeable and helpful. He had also taken good care of my kid who was a novice in snowboarding. We had a great time and my kid had learnt the basics of snowboarding within the session. Thank you coach Min 華!
The service was well organised. Transparent payment method. Communication was up to date and clear running up to the day. Both instructors Zi Xin (Ryan) and Hayama were excellent. My girls had a lot of funny and truly enjoyed it. And definitely got better with their snowboarding afterward. Thank you!!!!
I happily entrusted my boys to their skiing instructor, Hanna, while we went shopping. She was patient, professional, and caring, and thanks to her guidance, my boys now know how to ski. Highly recommended!
Today, Coach Kaku led the team and warmly welcomed our family. Even young children (2nd grade) can learn to ski in a fun way. The short 3-hour lesson left the children wanting more. We look forward to continuing to learn next time, and we also recommend Kaku (Uncle Fatty) here! It left us with wonderful memories of our first time skiing. Coach: Kaku
The instructor is very attentive and patient in teaching children to ski. The children enjoyed the activity. Looking forward to arranging a ski trip next time. I highly recommend the course taught by this coach Wu Dalang.
