It
is
easy
to
get
ski
or
snowboard
lessons
in
English
in
Hakuba.
You
can
get
either
private
or
group
lessons.
If
there
are
just
1
or
2
of
you
group
lessons
will
be
the
cheaper
option
and
if
you
are
beginners
then
a
group
lesson
is
probably
the
way
to
go-sometimes
it
helps
to
watch
other
beginners
either
doing
the
right
thing
or
completely
messing
it
up.
For
advanced
riders,
they
will
probably
prefer
private
lessons
but
a
group
lesson
is worth considering as often there will only be 2 or 3 in the group. Be careful; lessons do NOT include rental equipment or lift passes.
•
A
group
lesson
ranges
from
¥7,000
for
a
2
hr
lesson
up
to
¥9,000
or
so
for
a
2
1/2
hour
lesson.
Normally
a
group
size
will
be
3-8,
but
this
will
depend
on
the
skill
level.
Lower
skill
levels
usually
have
more
students
and
advanced
riders
may
find
there
are
only
2
or
3
students
in
the
group making this a viable alternative to paying for a private lesson.
•
Private
lessons
start
from
¥20,000
for
a
2
hr
lesson
and
is
generally
about
¥50,000
yen
for
a
whole
day.
No
point
in
doing
a
private
lesson
if
the members of your group are all different skill levels-do group lessons instead.
•
Kids
are
taught
in
separate
groups
to
the
adults
-they
will
enjoy
hanging
out
with
the
other
kids.
Kids
lessons
normally
start
from
5yrs
for
skiing
and 7 or 8 for snowboarding.
