Had an amazing day with Steve the instructor - Incredible mountain guide and instructor - Great with kids - Awesome experience.
Had a full day private lesson in Niseko with Liutas, who was AMAZING! I had never skied before and was quite nervous, and I came out of day 1 feeling confident and thoroughly enjoying the day.
If you’re thinking about booking ski lessons (especially if you’re a first timer), you should consider booking a Rhythm lesson (and to book with Joe and book early because he’s amazing!)
Choose to start your lesson from one of our meeting locations below across from Grand Hirafu Resort or Annupuri Mountain Resort for full day lessons only. If you choose the Explorer Upgrade, we'll arrange private transport to pick you up and drop you off at your accommodation.

For Private Lessons, the lift pass you purchase will depend on your goals and ability level. For those who are new to the sport (Level 1-3), we would recommend a Grand Hirafu full day pass which will give you access to Grand Hirafu & Hanazono resort. If you are more experienced (Level 4-7) and you would like to explore more Annupuri or Niseko Village you will need an All Mountain lift pass.
For Explorer Upgrades (Privates & Resort Guiding) visiting resorts outside of Niseko please contact our Guest Services team to confirm the correct lift pass for your day.
Children seven and older are welcome to join lessons with adults on the basis that all participants are of a similar ability level.
For children six and younger, we recommend that you book a separate private lesson, or split your lesson into a half-day adult class and half-day kids class. Younger children learn in a different way to adults and progress at very different speeds, subsequently lessons with these challenges rarely meet expectations.
Please feel free to contact our Rides Guest Services team or call +81 50 3773 0913 should you wish to discuss what is best for your family.
During the booking process you will have selected a meeting location, either our Rhythm Base store or one of our on snow locations. Typically, we recommend an on snow meeting location to ensure you make the most of your lesson time.
The available meeting locations are:
If you’ve booked a full-day lesson then you also have the option of meeting at Annupuri resort; your instructor will meet you on snow, outside the Nook. Please note that travel time is not included so it is imperative you arrive in Annupuri ready to ski/board for your chosen start time.
Our Explorer Upgrades include private transport to and from the resort, you will be picked up directly from your accommodation by your instructor and dropped-off there again at the end of the day.
Our guest services team will be in touch once your booking is confirmed to make the necessary arrangements.
