Testimonials

"I went from side slipping down greens to confidently linking turns on reds in a few days. Looking forward to building on these skills for years to come!"

"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!"

"We put our four-year-old twins, who had never skied into the Ninja Kids program for three days and they had a great time. They loved their instructor and we thought all the staff members were great with kids."

"I booked three full-day intermediate group lessons that were no bigger than five. Some days I was the only one in the class so it turned into a private lesson. Had three different instructors who were all professional and gave me confidence going down difficult slopes. GoSnow’s ‘bring a friend’ end-of-season deal was great as my friend got 3 full-day lessons for free."

"If visiting Niseko, I cannot recommend GoSnow kids ski school enough. The instructors are great with the kids and really help them to progress."

"Best ski/snowboard school in Niseko! I will definitely go back to GoSnow...it's also located next to where you purchase your lift tickets so it's very convenient."

"The Women’s Workshop was perfect, it was chill and not judgmental. You can go at your own pace. Maximum number in the group is four, so a great instructor-to-skier ratio. Full marks for GoSnow for organising Women's Workshops, definitely the gap in the market."

"Our experience with GoSnow was positive from start to finish. Staff were super friendly to deal with, it was easy to book lessons and my instructor Peter was great."

"Our group of seven received high quality, patient and progressive training. After a full day lesson all were comfortable skiing along the greens and three out of the seven were confident enough to take on the black slopes in Hirafu."

"We sent our two kids for two full days of group lessons in the Yama Riders program. The instructors were friendly, patient, and had a positive attitude, which helped our kids to adapt to the new environment and feel confident about themselves."

"What I learnt, where I went and what I did on skis was epic. My instructor was a fabulous teacher. He pushed our boundaries and communicated well with everyone in the group. My skiing improved dramatically through his knowledge and patience!"

"Our instructor in the Women’s Workshop not only worked on improving our technique but also built our confidence and encouraged us to explore more challenging terrain. Really enjoyed skiing with other women who supported one another and the lunch at Ki was delicious as well."

"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."

"This was the first time we tried this ski school and it was fantastic. Our kids had great coaches and went all over the mountain. I found it very well run and would definitely recommend it."

"This is our second visit here and we are so happy with the team taking care of our kids. We are definitely coming back in March."

"My powder guide was terrific - professional, fun, and always thought about which runs would give us the best powder. He challenged me to do the Peak hike twice. My skills have improved so much in 2 days because of this dedicated, highly competent and superstar guide. Thanks a million!!!!! I’m still buzzing from these past 2 days."

"Our group of seven received high-quality, patient, and progressive training. After a full day lesson all were comfortable skiing along the greens and three out of the seven were confident enough to take on the black slopes in Hirafu."

"My six-year-old attended the Ninja Kids program at the Family Base. Fabulous. Easy pickup and drop off. Very caring and kind staff and the best part, they taught my kid to love skiing. By the end of four days of ski school he was taking the Ace Family Lift. I know I could not have done that!"

"My young kids who had never skied took the Ninja Kids program and they had great fun. Everything was very easy and well organised, from email correspondences to booking the actual lessons. The instructor was great at handling my kids and I will have no problem enrolling them in future lessons."

"We had a good experience with GoSnow. We took half-day beginner snowboarding lessons. The instructor was thorough, patient, and kind!"

"We had an excellent powder guide. His avalanche briefing was very comprehensive (more than I have had before from other instructors). He was very attentive and patient to his guests, helping them whenever he could. I would definitely go again."

"Big thanks to my instructors for introducing me to off-piste skiing. Really enjoyed the experience and skills learned."

"My instructor was very astute in noticing our faults and gave us technique exercises to help correct them. On my second day, the instructor pushed my limits a little which helped me learn the skills needed for difficult slopes. If you want to improve your skiing, I recommend this workshop to women at any level."

"As it was our very first time on snow, we took First Timer ski and snowboarding lessons with GoSnow and truly had the most amazing experience."

"Strong endorsement for the team at GoSnow. English-speaking, highly competent and cheerful even under pressure. Small class size means you have better chances of being in a group that matches your level. We went with our two boys, a snowboarder and a skier who advanced their skills more than I could have taught them and had fun. Looking forward to going back for more!"

"Had a thoroughly good session with an experienced instructor from Australia. Great knowledge of the local runs and was able to zone into problem areas. Highly recommend them."

"I originally signed up for one lesson but ended up coming back. The instructors I had for both snowboarding and skiing were wonderful. Patient, enthusiastic and helpful. Would recommend lessons at GoSnow for anyone going to Niseko. Will definitely be going with them when I visit again."

"There are a number of snow school providers at Niseko and GoSnow was recommended by our travel agent. They were great!! I would absolutely recommend GoSnow."

"I would like to congratulate the GoSnow team for the Women's Workshop, a full-day program including lunch at An Dining. My ski coach was friendly, fun, and an excellent communicator. Over the day she gave me three tips which helped me understand some of the longstanding faults in my technique. I can now ski powder snow and realise why everyone loves it."

"We took several Private Lessons and had the kids in the Ninja Kids program for almost a week. The instructors were excellent on both accounts and were great for an advanced ski refresher course also."

"Booked my son in for five full-day snowboarding lessons in the Yama Riders program. It was his first time snowboarding. I was extremely impressed with the positive attitude, organisation, level of training, patience & encouragement provided by the instructors."
