Niseko Snowboard Workshops

These aren't group lessons and they're not just tours. They're focused coaching sessions — designed for riders who want to leave the mountain genuinely better than when they arrived.

3 Days - ¥355,000 per group

1-6 people maximum

One coach across every session.

Zero-2-Hero

For first-timers

New to snowboarding? This is where it begins. Designed for complete beginners, we keep groups close in age — whether that's kids, teens, or adults — so everyone learns at the same pace and no one holds anyone back. Perfect for a crew of friends or colleagues.

S-Turn Flow

For novices looking to link turns confidently

You've tried snowboarding — now it's time to make it click. This workshop is for riders who can get down the mountain but haven't yet found that confident, flowing turn. We bring in elements of freestyle and carving early: nothing builds turn confidence faster than landing your first jib.

Cruise Control

For intermediates ready to ride anything

You're linking turns on the easier runs and feeling good — until it gets steeper, icier, deeper, or just relentlessly flat. This workshop gets you cruising on any terrain. We'll cover freestyle, carving, trees, powder, steeps, and bumps, giving you the tools to flow wherever the mountain takes you.

ATS — All Terrain Shred

For advanced riders ready to level up

You ride everywhere — but you want to see what you're really capable of. Maybe you've been holding back for a crew at a lower level, or you're just hungry to push. Over three days we'll explore the whole mountain our way, adding flair and precision to how you move. Whether it's freestyle focused or powder driven, expect to be challenged — and expect to surprise yourself.

1-6 Persons

You can book this workshop just for yourself or bring your partner or friends.  The focus is aimed at your level of riding and what you hope to achieve.  We balance the coaching and riding accordingly.

Pick up and drop off

We can pick you up from your accommodation and drop you back after the session. 

Dates

Get in touch to reserve your workshop.  We don't advertise set dates as each group tends to have their own plan so it's easier for us to run these when you have a group ready. 

¥355,000 per group

This includes 3 days of coaching, transport to and from resort/accommodation.  If you have a full group it's less than 20,000 a day per person, per day.

Workshop Options

These workshops are based in Niseko however if the riding's going well and the crew is keen, a trip to Rusutsu might just come up in conversation on the slopes.  This is always an option with Rusutsu being close by and maybe with a big storm or crews motivation a trip over on the 2nd or 3rd day could be arranged.  

Families: we recommend booking two separate groups so each age group can progress freely — you'll still ride the same resorts, just get more out of it.

Day 1: Annupuri (weather dependent)

Day 2: Annupuri 2nd day, familiar terrain, this helps build confidence and allows us to get some reps in.

Day 1: A first day confidence booster resort - Annupuri

Day 2: Time to explore, lets get out and about and build that confidence around Niseko United.

Day 3: All mountain mischief at this point.  Exploration supports your progression and helps you build trust your own skills and navigation

We'll cover freestyle, carving, trees, powder, steeps, and bumps, giving you the tools to flow wherever the mountain takes you.

Day 1: A confidence-boosting resort, most likely Annupuri

Days 2–3: Whichever resort best pushes your progression and builds trust in your own resort navigation

ATS — All Terrain Shred

Days 1–3: Resort chosen each day to push your riding. Be ready — by day three you won't recognise the rider you've become.

Whether it's freestyle focused or powder driven, expect to be challenged.

"I had a lesson with Richie learning how to turn goofy foot which was what I really needed, after this lesson the next few last days I felt so much more confident on the mountain and going down red cat tracks. Turning and going down the mountain then became so much more enjoyable and felt amazing.  So just wanted to say thank you to Richie, I really did notice the difference after that last lesson, and he was a really nice instructor. 
Also good one helping us with the food line on our first day and recommending the chicken nanban which we had every day after!"
