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: from your very first glide, to learning how to control your heel and toe edges, stopping with confidence and riding the chairlift, all the way to linking turns down a green run. Most riders finish the week comfortably linking their S-turns and ready for steeper terrain.

Meet the group at Nagano Station and hop on our private shuttle directly to our private lodge. After check-in, get to know the team and your group for the week, and settle in for a big week of riding ahead!

Your package includes 4.5 days of full day group lessons! To ensure effective learning, the group will be assessed and split up into different skill levels.

Unwind at Myoko’s local onsens, eat, drink and hang out with the group. Dinner reservations will also be made each night at our favourite spots in Myoko. Prefer a quiet night in or on a budget? You’ll also have the option to cook and hang out at the lodge instead!

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!

Just like that, it’s Saturday again and you’ll be off to your next adventure, on or off the board – but this is not goodbye, it’s see you again!

If you’re heading to another location and would like to arrange for Ta-Q-Bin/ Black Cat to do a pick up for your bags, we’ll bring you to the nearest outpost on Friday evening before 6PM.

*Itinerary is weather-dependent and will be tailored to the group’s overall skill level.
