The rates for our private ski lessons, snowboard lessons and telemark lessons are all ‘per instructor’ not ‘per student’. If you are a group of mixed ability skiers OR snowboarders OR telemark skiers, you can simply hire one instructor for the whole day and use them how you choose.

Private Ski Lessons, Snowboard or Telemark Lessons with Niseko Academy
We customize our private lessons as much as possible to suit your needs. On our full day lessons we’ll pick you up from your accommodation, take you to the most suitable terrain for your needs (at any resort in the area), join you for lunch (not part of the 5hrs teaching time) and make sure all your needs are totally taken care of. We’ll even visit you the evening before if you need help with renting equipment.
But before you go any further, please consider your own requirements and what type of lesson you are most suited to…
