Private Lessons

  • Information

    Experience personalised learning with elite private instructors from around the world

    Ki Niseko's preferred partner, GoSnow, is the resort's official international ski and snowboard school. GoSnow benefits from the top location in the village at the base of the King Gondola, just next door to Ki Niseko.

    Private Lessons are tailored uniquely to your needs, receive one-on-one attention or make a group of up to 6 guests of similar ability. All private lessons receive:

    • Priority lift access to the King Gondola, Ace Gondola, King Holiday Pair lift and Ace Family Pair lift.
    • Lessons are continuous; full day privates require a minimum 30 minute break at your preferred time.

    Full day and AM Private:

    • Available from 29 November 2025 to 8 April 2026
    • Flexible start times
    • Instructors can meet you at Ki Niseko Ski Valet
    PM Private:
    • Available from 29 November 2025 to 8 April 2026

    First Tracks Private:

    • Available from 10 December 2025 to 7 April 2026
    • Available for all levels, however, not recommended for levels 1 and 2. Recommended for levels 3 and above for fast learning and effective time usage. First Tracks lessons are intended for those more experienced to have the opportunity to practice skiing through fresh snow and powder (weather permitting), as well as touch-up on previously learnt skills due to the short lesson time.

    Twilight Private:

    • Available from 14 December 2025 to 22 March 2026
