    Ki Niseko's preferred partner, GoSnow, is the resort's official international ski and snowboard school. GoSnow benefits from the top location in the village at the base of the King Gondola, just next door to Ki Niseko.

    Private Lessons are tailored uniquely to your needs, receive one-on-one attention or make a group of up to 6 guests of similar ability. All private lessons receive:

    • Priority lift access to the King Gondola, Ace Gondola, King Holiday Pair lift and Ace Family Pair lift.
    • Lessons are continuous; full day privates require a minimum 30 minute break at your preferred time.

    Full day and AM private lessons:

    PM private lessons:
    • Instructors will meet you at the private lesson meeting area at the Hirafu Gondola base
    • Twilight lessons are subject to Resort night skiing dates

    First Tracks

    • Available for all levels, however, not recommended for levels 1 and 2. Recommended for levels 3 and above for fast learning and effective time usage. First Tracks lessons are intended for those more experienced to have the opportunity to practice skiing through fresh snow and powder (weather permitting), as well as touch-up on previously learnt skills due to the short lesson time.

    Lessons are available from the Resort Opening date in December 2025 to 31 March 2026.
