We have joined other ski lessons before, however we nust say that Snow Country offer a very good and prompt response. Besides, our coach from Snow country - Dominika is a very patient and experienced profession coach. Easy understand and most important is she really pay attention to our tiny postures and point out our mistakes which I did not experience from other ski lessons.
Meanwhile, she teach my son in a funny way and he get the skill in a very quick way. Anyhow, i highly recommend Snow Country and Dominkia :-)

This is our second year skiing and we were so fortunate to have Alberto as our instructor for 3 full days. Aside from having very good skiing skills, Alberto was a super nice person and was very patient. Noticing that we might have some bad postures or habits developed, he used many different ways or little games to help correcting our basics, yet still managed to make it fun. We, including our girls of 11 and 14 years old were able to challenge the intermediate level on day 2 and even went to the top of Iwappara on Day 3, all thanks to the effort and encouragement of Alberto! Once again thank you and will definitely hope to get help from Alberto in our next skiing trip!

Our two little ones had their first ski lessons with ski instructor Kinga for three days. Kinga was very professional, punctual and fun. She let our little ones enjoy snow and just have fun during the lesson hours. Our kids were looking forward to their lessons everyday. By the last day of their lesson, our eldest one was doing beautiful turns coming down the slope.
Myself and other two extended family members also took ski lessons with the ski instructor Dominika. She was punctual and very professional. She had an eye for details, quick to assess and advise on how to improve our postures.
Thanks to Kinga, Dominika, Patrick (in charge of the arrangement and communication) and Snow Country, our family will enjoy winter sports next season as well. I recommend this ski school and instructors when you are in the area.

Many thanks to Patrick who helped arrange the lessons - he always gave prompt reply with very useful information. We had Kinga as our ski instructor and she was awesome! My kids loved her as she is fun and encouraging and very patient. And she is always on time. She also gave great advice on which ski resorts to go to! We would definitely use the ski school and have Kinga again!

My friend and my kids had an excellent time with coach Kinga in Naeba. She is polite, patient and is very good with kids. Our kids made amazing progress just after five days of ski lessons. We are very glad to have chosen Snow Country Instructors. Patrick helped to book everything for us and he is always responsive and helpful. We look forward to having lessons with coach Kinga again.

It was my first time to ski ever. Fortunately, I got the best and most talented English ski instructor the is from the snow country instructors group named Nyc(Nick) terrific guy and teacher and he make skiing as safe and fun as it should be. He will teach you everything from the proper handling of your gear to the proper form needed to help you glide through the snow and of course stop safely. Will even go the extra mile and take photos of you if you're a good student. Be sure to ask for him for that fun in the ice that you look forward to.

Vendy was an amazing instructor, very patient, polite and friendly. She taught us the basics and after our class we were able to immediately go up and down the different slopes with ease. She also gave us the confidence to enjoy snowboarding for our very first time!

We found this ski instructors by accident when we stayed at Naspa New Otani for the easter break. We book lesson from hotel since we want to learn to ski properly. We have taken some beginner lesson last year in hokkaido but totally unsatisfied with the teaching and the progress. We are from tropical country so you can imagine we hardly see snow, and even so skiing.
On the first day of the lesson, as I can predict, my husband and my two children both boys, 12 and 9 years old, got really good just after two hours. For me it took the whole day just to make the turn. Patrick Latter, the instructor, was a great guy who kept on motivating and encouraging me despite my failing and the fact that I have poor balance, and afraid of speed!. He was experienced instructors and so far the best that I ever had. He was great with children too I think this must be his expertise, despite my children did not need much of guidance. He made me ski by the end of day one, but cannot get enough of practice and at the end I got him booked for three days. They have a competitive price - cheaper than those offered by hotel and totally worth it! it was 32,000 JPY for four hours, but he is flexible and can go on as long as your leg allowed you to for the day. They are not attached to any of resort so basically they can help you in any resort you pick around the areas and flexible to go to wherever you want to ski in Yuzawa. They can help you book local shop for equipment rental which is cheaper than hotel rental and maybe a bit difficult unless you speak Japanese. They are expert on Yuzawa, so basically you can ask Patrick anything as he has lived there for years and speak Japanese. This has made skiing is really fun, safe, and hassle free for the family and for sure we will come back again next year!

My 6 yrs twins joins two days lesson in kids ski school on 2017 and 2018 ski season. The progress is poor. My daughter only learned wedge stop. My son can not do wedge stop and afraid the slope. It is reason that I would like to try private ski instructor this year.
We are lucky to find Snow Country Instructors. Patrick is provide good service all the time and introduce great ski instructor - Alberto to us. Alberto play around with my twins while them met. Then teach them step by step from begin. Alberto just like a magician. My daughter can ski down 1.5 km beginner slop alone at first lesson day afternoon. In second lesson days lunch time, my son told us that ski is so fun. He want to finish lunch quickly and go back to afternoon lesson. In third lesson day morning, they both are able to make good wedge turn and ski down from top of mountain. It is amazing.
I would like to take this opportunity to thanks Alberto. He is not only teach our twins how to ski. The most important is show them how to make ski fun. We hope that he can teach our twins again our next ski trip on Feb.
We highly recommend Snow Country Instructors. They are the best.
