Sample Itinerary

Day 1

It’s go time! When you land at New Chitose Airport your private transfer will be waiting to take you to Niseko. 

Take some time to get settled into your hotel before making your way to Rhythm Hirafu for your gear fitting. If you're lucky, it might even be happy hour at our Rhythm & Beans Cafe -- the perfect time to grab your first Sapporo Classic of the trip.

Day 2

First day on the hill! You'll meet your highly certified coach who has been selected specifically for you, and together you'll discuss the plan for the week ahead. They'll begin by giving you a variety of drills and skills challenges to get your ski legs moving!

Day 3

You’ve now spent a half-day with your coach, so they will have a good understanding of the areas you need to focus to take your riding to the next level. Throughout the week your coach will be using a variety of methods to effectively communicated how to apply the new skills and techniques they're demonstrating.

Day 4


Time to dial it in; as you have been working on building new skills and techniques your coach will often start pulling it all together to solidify the new skills learnt. Often on this day our guests talk about those "light bulb" moments where things start to come together; there is nothing quite as satisfying as starting to see your hard work pay off!

Day 5

Rinse and repeat. You'll continue to work with your coach, who will be constantly looking for new ways to push your skills with more challenging terrain. This could also be a great day to take a break in the afternoon before getting back out on the snow to experience Niseko under the lights -- the best night riding there is!

Day 6

It’s the final day – time to make it count. Your skiing/boarding is now worlds away from when you first got onto the snow in Niseko only a few days ago!

Today you'll enjoy another half day of coaching in Niseko United, or upgrade your experience and test your new skills at a variety of neighbouring resorts including Rusutsu, Kiroro, or Moiwa Resort.

Day 7

This one is totally up to you. You’ll be free to independently explore all of the new favourite Niseko spots you discovered or just take the day off and relax.

Day 8

Before you know it, it’s time to head home. When you checkout of your hotel you can leave your rental gear there and we will arrange the pick-up for you, zero hassle. Take some time to enjoy your last breakfast and enjoy the final views of beautiful Mt Yotei before you’re picked up in your private transfer to head back to Sapporo New Chitose Airport.
