New Poster #2 - Ski/SB Lessons
The instructors are starting to drift back into town so lessons are good to go as soon as the resorts are open. The lesson poster has had an overhaul for this season aswell.
All levels are catered for in both our ski instruction and snowboard lessons in English. The instructors are great with kids and make sure that they develop a love for the snow. We can also provide instruction in telemark or cross country if you are looking to try something new for the winter.
For the first time, this season we have an adaptive instructor for anyone with special requirements and will hopefully be working with the adaptive programmes in the areas that we teach.
Park and pipe are always growing in popularity so if you want to learn the basics or perfect a new trick we have freestyle lessons available. There are some great parks scattered around these areas.
We've also been known to head off and teach in other resorts outside of Yuzawa and Minakami, so if are struggling to find English ski or snowboard instructions where you are headed, feel free to give us a shout and we will see what we can do. We've taken clients to Nozawa Onsen, Kijimadaira, Shiga Kogen and even further afield when our schedules allow.

New Poster #1
As we await the arrival of the snow, we're using the time to do a few updates. The tour poster is first out of the blocks.
We've been looking at some new courses for snowshoe, coming up with some ideas for some special trips and working on some delicious lunch options to make that trip out into the mountains even more memorable.
The backcountry guides have some new routes scouted and are looking at running more expeditions for the more advanced riders among you. First-timer or hardened powder pro, there's a trip ready for you.
Now we just need the snow...

Scare bear
An interesting addition to the neighbourhood this year were the (very high tech) bear bells. Been plenty of bear action all over Japan this year and after one of our guys had a close encounter last summer better to be safe. Hopefully they'll all be off to sleep for the winter soon.
Temperature drop yesterday and a dusting of snow up high. A taste of things to come?
