2 ResortsWhat our instructors say
“I’ve loved working as an instructor in Niseko — it’s like a massive family. I felt well supported the whole time by WE ARE SNO. Would definitely recommend the programme!”
“The immense support from both our course leader and trainers is something I believe you won’t find elsewhere. One of the best decisions I’ve ever made.”
“From day one WE ARE SNO supported every step of my trip. I walked away with CASI L1, L2 and park L1 — I achieved everything I hoped for this season!”
“The whole experience was amazing! The team were super welcoming, helping us with everything. I completed my Level 1 & 2, as well as AST1.”
“Leaving a well-paying office job to become a snowboard instructor in Japan wasn’t easy — but you should have no doubts selecting WE ARE SNO for this journey of a lifetime.”
“They arranged everything — airport transport, resort orientation and training with expert instructors. I couldn’t be happier with my current job.”
