What our customers say

"We used GoSnow for the first time this year. We had the most amazing instructor. The staff during the whole booking process were excellent. Offering two locations in Niseko was excellent, especially when we were staying right at the Ace Family Lift. Highly recommend GoSnow."
Bec, Sydney
"I had the Adult First Timer package for two days and had a great experience. I also received some help from other GoSnow instructors while on the ski slopes who were in the same area. Was finally able to start linking some turns on the last day!"
