Welcome to SnowPlus, a Chinese-speaking ski school

Skiing has brought together people from completely different backgrounds, whose paths might otherwise never have crossed. A shared love of the sport, or a shared dream, is what has us meeting up and riding together.

Find the run that's yours
Find the run that's yours
From your first time on snow to the deep powder terrain of Niseko, SnowPlus offers three kinds of service — ski and snowboard lessons, guiding, and camps. Our native Chinese-speaking instructors work from your level and your goals to help you find the right path.
Whether it's your first time on snow or you're working through a plateau, our native Chinese-speaking instructors build the lesson around your level and your goals — from your first turn to riding that's steadier and more under control, step by step.

Every SnowPlus instructor has spent years in Niseko and holds international certification. We teach more than technique — how each guest feels and how they grow matters to us, so that in the powder you don't just learn to ski, you come to love it.

001
Hirafu
The largest and most popular resort in the Niseko area, with a wide range of runs — from gentle beginner slopes to high-quality tree and off-piste zones. On a clear day you can look across to Mount Yotei, and the night-skiing terrain here is among the largest in Japan. The village is full of restaurants and shops, making this the classic way to experience Niseko.

Annupuri
On the western edge of the Niseko resort group, Annupuri keeps a strong Japanese character and a quiet, forested feel — the most traditional of the four Niseko areas. Wide, gentle runs and comparatively light crowds make for a relaxed pace, and a good place for beginners to build confidence.

Hanazono

Rusutsu
About an hour's drive from Niseko, Rusutsu is a large resort spread across three peaks, known for light powder and beautiful tree runs. The variety of runs and the lighter crowds make it a popular choice for advanced guests chasing powder, and it works well as a day trip to a second resort.

005
Kiroro
In the mountains near Otaru, Kiroro is known for some of the driest powder in Hokkaido and a remarkable annual snowfall. It's a mid-sized resort with few crowds, and both the runs and the off-piste areas are well maintained — a quieter find for anyone who comes for deep snow.

Every moment in the powder
Great resorts, professional instructors, and a group of people who love this as much as you do. Every season is different because of the people you share it with.
