My son went to a ski school for the first time this March and had a really good time there. Niseko Base Snowsport. Staff speak fluent English and very patient, my son obviously enjoyed it as he still talks about going to Japan and do more skiing at the age of 3 1/2 . Of course, everyone progress differently, but at the end of a 5 days lesson. My son could ski down slowly with me and my hubby on the green run at the lower part of the mountian.:)
Would you mind to recommend the instructor to me? We are planning to go there in the X'mas and wish to log in some good instructor. Thank you:)
如果係ski school, 好難咁早book教練.
佢地每年都從不同地方recruit教練.
而D教練通常只會做一季, 下季又會係另一批.
:(冇法啦，因為Peter 已經俾人book 晒喇 =.= :mad::mad::mad:

What Ryann said was correct. The ski school usually have different instructor every year as they don't tend to stay in one resort.
Anyway, the reason for me to recommend UBS is they are very kids friendly. The instructor would even read the kids story while they are in-door waiting around to entertain them. No doubt about the language, as English is the best you can get as I don't think there is any Cantonese speaking ski school anywhere else.
Thank you Ryann and happy-mum. I understand that many instructors will not stay in one place/resort every year, I just wish to have someone who can really communicate with the kids. You know, a good skier may not be a good teacher. Those communicates better will benefits more the student.
:)Thanks for your recommendation, I'll try UBS.

We booked a 5 days of half day lesson from around 9:30am to 12:30pm from HK for about Y30000. Then we upgraded 2 days into a full days lesson and paid up the different of around Y5500 per day. When you do a full day lesson, lunch is included.
The minimum age is 3 years old for NBS. And my son was 3 1/2 years old at the time we went.:)

Btw, the kids don't stay out in the cold for all the lesson time. I know that they do go indoor to warm up then go out again.

Glad to hear that your son enjoyed it. What's important is he likes it.
Another choice is Club Med in Sohoro. My sons like the place and the lessons there. So you have one more option next time when visiting Hokkaido.

Seems flexible and reasonable price. :)
My elder daughter joined kids school in Whistler at age of 4 but full day programme seems too long for her. This year, she is 5 years old and had joined a few lessons in slope 8 before the trip. She skiied with us for 9 days in Whistler and after a few suffering days :mad: (she always threw temper and bumped into me when trying to stop), she was able to go up to the peak with us and ski down from intermediate slope with her A wedge.
This year, we' ve planning a trip to Japan. I'm still thinking shall I bring with the younger daughter (she would be 3 in November but her character is shy and cool).:p
We went to Niseko last Xmas. My son, aged 7, joined 3 full day lessons at Niseko international snowsports school. It's really an international school. Most of the instructors from Australia and Canada, -- all native speakers. :) He learnt skiing and English together.
http://www.harmonyresorts.com/lessonsandprograms.cfm (http://www.harmonyresorts.com/lessonsandprograms.cfm).
He enjoyed the lessons very much partly due to the magic carpet that moved him up and partly due to the complimentary milo drink every morning. He was able to take the charlift on the second day.
He loves skiing very much. We have already redeemed tickets to Sapporo next CNY.
*** PCCW bought Hanazono. No wonder we saw Richard Li at the ski school. He was carrying a snowboard and talking to an instructor. Snowboarded to check business !?:).***
My son had lessons at slope 8 before the trip, thanks to Wallace for the arrangement !

我計劃年底聖誕節帶7嵗的女兒去北海道的札幌（Sapporo）滑雪，朋友推薦ski in Niseko Village, stayed at Niseko Hilton Hotel。
看舊的post，說有一家Niseko international snowsports school，也有一個什麽Niseko Base Snowsport.....因爲是第一次去，對那裏的地理位置很沒有概念。所以想請教各位，"Niseko international snowsports schoo”和"Niseko Base Snowsport”附近有沒有什麽酒店或resort可以推薦的呢？？要是住在Niseko Hilton Hotel的話，附近有沒有適合的課程給小朋友呢？？
Niseko international snowsports school is right below the Kogen hotel, very convenient. My boy went there for a few times. They have a magic carpet, good for 1st time skier. also very close to the chairlift.
I booked through (sorry the old link does not work)

the two ski schools u mention are in Hirafu.
the Niseko mountain has three sides - Hirafu, Niseko Village, Annupuri. it takes about 20 min by bus between Hirafu and Niseko Village.
if you are a good skier, you can ski between Hirafu and Niseko Village from the top of the mountain. but beginners cannot.
so you need to choose your ski school based on where you stay, or vice versa.
websites for NISS and NBS (in Hirafu)

both have really good english speaking instructors. (i.e. your daughter needs to speak good English)
ski school in Niseko village is called Niseko Village ski school: (can't comment because never used this school)

My son learned skiing from Niseko Village kids ski school. Instructors are all westeners and they are all extremely friendly!
My son joined the 1.5 hours one to one class and by the forth day he can ski down the green run. ;)
