Built for complete first-timers — if you’ve never strapped into a board or even touched snow before, this is your starting line.
With 5 days on snow and 4.5 of them in lessons with our certified instructors, you’ve got the time to do it properly. Most riders finish the week comfortably linking their S-turns and ready for steeper terrain. No experience needed, no pressure to keep up — just a patient, structured progression alongside other first-timers starting exactly where you are.

Day by day
Meet the group at Koriyama Station and hop on our private shuttle to our home base at Urabandai Lake Resort in Aizu, which we call “AIZU 2”. After check-in, get to know the crew and settle in as we walk you through the week’s itinerary and ski areas.
Your package includes 4.5 days of full day group lessons on the same mountains as your friends on the Hosted Experience! To ensure effective learning, the group will be assessed and split up into different skill levels.
BONUS: If you’re not a breakfast person, swop your breakfast for a meal ticket to have lunch on the slopes!
Get warm and unwind at the onsen before grabbing dinner at the buffet hall at your own time. After dinner, join the group after that for a nightcap session at the sake lounge or the ice bar outside!
BONUS: If you don’t want to have dinner daily at the hotel, you have the option to hop on a bus to Aizu-wakamatsu, where you can take a meal ticket to selected Izakayas in the town area!
Each evening, our team of hosts will check the latest snow and weather conditions to pick the best resort for the next day, and give you tips on how to layer up properly!
Time to say goodbye! Our private shuttle leaves for Koriyama Station at 10AM, check out by 9AM so that you don’t miss the bus!
With 5 days on the mountains, 4.5 days of lessons and free and easy afternoon in between.
