Frequently asked questions

  • The JaPOW Experience. This package is most suited to mixed discipled groups, who are all of a similar age and ability level, and interested in exploring the backcountry.
  • Niseko Explorer Experience. This package is well suited to mixed discipline groups, who are all of a similar age and ability level, and interested in exploring a range of resorts.
  • The Ultimate Family Experience. On this package the children will have the choice of either skiing or snowboarding, and as they’re joining group sessions they do not need to choose the same. For the resort guiding as a family, it is no problem for the parents and children to be a mixed group of skiers and boarders.

Our JAPOW Experience, Niseko Explorer, The Progression experience and Learn to Ride Taster bookings are all private. Therefore, the instructor or guide is exclusively yours for all of your time with them.

During the Ultimate Family Trip the children will join our Kids Week program, which is a premium group lesson where your children will be with the same children (six max per group) and instructor for all five days. However, the resort guiding on the final day of the Ultimate Family Trip is private.

My family was lucky enough to take a full-day lesson and guiding package with John today.  We headed to the beautiful slopes at Rusutsu and had the most magical day. John’s deep expertise, and his calm and understanding character made our final day here in Niseko truly one to remember.  Thank you, John and Rhythm, for a truly outstanding experience
