I used Winterlab for my recent ski trip to Japan. I am an experienced and hungry skier. I go to Japan often and speak Japanese but I had never been skiing in Japan. Winterlab made my first, of many to come, experience great. Anna was super-responsive, patient, and informative from the start, and throughout. Oli, my guide and instructor, was amazing. Day 1, got a sense of my skiing but appropriate to what I wanted to do, Days 2 and 3, we just had at it. Back country, in trees, powder and more. He was also a great companion for 3 days. I highly recommend and would/will repeat!

Sam was an EXCELLENT teacher, the kids thoroughly enjoyed their time with him, and they progressed so quickly in such a short time! It was amazing how they were able to go down the reds after 3 days with him and only having had the experience of the kiddie school in Hanazone. The kids loved skiing between trees while learning the skills needed to go down the mountains. Sam made it look easy and he was always in such a great mood and super patient. We highly recommend him for families with kids, I'm sure he would have been fantastic teaching me as well. Thank you so much for assigning him to our family and we look forward to booking him and other Propeak instructors in the future. Definitely worth it!

Stayed four nights in the Hilton Niseko and was skiing everyday. I've been skiing for the past 3-4 years for a few days in the winter and have had lessons, but it's never been very satisfying. This time, though, I had a wonderful lesson with a Japanese instructor by the name of Koshiba, who was very patient and meticulous. I would highly recommend booking him as he had a wonderful way of explaining the minute steps that go into skiing. By the end of the two hour lesson, I was navigating the intermediate slopes quite well. A few pieces of advice, make sure you make reservations as it's very possible they won't have any instructors if you just walk up to the counter. Also, the line for equipment rental can be a bit long on your first day so I recommend leaving a good 30-45 minutes. If you're just starting out, then the Niseko Village ski lift pass is good enough, you won't need the all mountain, because you won't be crossing over to the Hirafu side. However, if you're an advanced level, then by all means. Again, highly recommend Koshiba, thanks sir!
