I am teaching with Snowcountry Instructors ski-school, based in Echigo-Yuzawa, Niigata, Japan. We are a registered ski school in Japan.
We have access to several resorts to teach in, and many more outside of our area also. You can book your lessons directly through me or throught the ski school website and request for me. If you need more than one instructor, I can arrange it and choose the best colleague for your need.
With a bullet train station in the base of the resort this is an incredibly easy resort to reach.
Very long main run accessed by ropeway. Good for experts and advanced.
Good variety of runs for all levels.
The best beginner area to my opinion!
