What will the session include?

If it is your first time: 

– Your snow bike instructor will firstly go through a safety briefing with you including how to ride the chairlift and how to slow down and stop.

– You will then go up the Champion #1 chairlift. At the top you will start sliding down the run and get a feel for the balance, slowing and stopping.

– There are a couple of different turning techniques. Your instructor will show you how to do both. It usually takes a couple of runs to get the hang of turning.

– Over the session you can expect to do a few laps of the Champion #1 chair. If you are confident and progressing quickly your instructor may take you on a trail through the trees and show you how to do some tricks.


If you have done Snow Bikes before:

– Please ensure you have a combined Akakura Kanko/Onsen lift ticket.

– Your snow bike instructor will guide you around more trails throughout the combined resort areas.

– They will coach you to develop more advanced turning skills, control at speed, and tricks.
