Lesson with Misako
Misako is an amazing ski instructor. She tailored the lesson well according to my comfort level. At no point in time did I feel pressured or overly anxious as a beginner. She also taught good techniques and was very encouraging when finetuning my posture, etc. I ended up having a lot of fun - definitely much more than I expected! Highly recommend 10/10

First time snowboarding with my friends and was super duper lucky to have James Napier as our instructor! Not only was he extremely friendly, super knowledgeable and funny, he is also a super instructor. He really knew what went well what went wrong and always gave us the perfect advice. He was patient and spot on with everything he taught. With him, we got our basics really well cemented and ready to hit the slopes by ourselves on day 2! For anyone wanting to learn snowboarding please look for him! Awesome and friendly guy! You’ll pick up the basics in no time!
