Great day and excellent tips on technique. Made an excellent progression in the powder. Will do more!
We had a fantastic time skiing with Olivia and learnt so much. It was such a fun way to explore Niseko and Rusutsu and we can’t wait for next season! Thanks Olivia and Rhythm!
Everything was seamless: From the booking of lessons and rental of skis. My wife and I did 3 days with our instructor - Bode. The progress we had from 0 to being able to turn, break and really enjoy it was so fun and fulfilling.

When you first arrive check-in with the Rhythm Rides team next to the entrance on the upper floor. They will then escort you to our dedicated rental lane.
Our premium privates are a fully-tailored experience that opens up a range of opportunities for your trip.

Absolutely! Your Premium Private is completely customisable to your goals.
Example Itinerary for a 3-day Premium Private Experience
Day 1: The Premium Video Analysis Experience on day one will mean you can focus on drills and techniques to dial in your on-snow skills, with your instructor providing you with feedback to take home and keep. Review at your leisure, and use it as a foundation for your on-snow progression.
Day 2: Our neighbour Rusutsu might be showing the best conditions for the day! With the Premium Private Day Trip Explorer, our instructor will get you there for the first lifts and ensure those sweet fresh spots are found.
Day 3: You are ready for a unique Onsen Experience. Let our instructor take you there on the way home. Relax your muscles after another day on the slopes, and gain that authentic, must-have Japanese experience before returning to your accommodation for the evening.
Please advise our guest services team at the time of booking your preferred experiences.
The ISIA is an independent body that reviews & regulates minimum standards for each association’s top level of certification. By having an ISIA-level instructor it means your pro has completed the top level of training & certification from their association. In your Premium Private, we commit to providing you with an instructor who has completed this certification, with a breadth of experience. Your pro will also possess a deep knowledge of Niseko and is passionate about sharing the best local spots with you.
There are so many amazing resorts in our region that it is possible to visit from Niseko. We are able to customise your trip to visit Rusustu, Kiroro and other hidden gems in our region.
Our guest services team or your instructor will be happy to make a recommendation based on your ability level and goals for the day!
Resort requests are required to be booked a minimum of 24 hours prior to your lesson day. If you would like to change your resort request, we recommend contacting our guest services team to make arrangements or discussing this directly with your instructor if you are with them over multiple days.
