Product Info

Separate snowboards are short boards attached to each foot, allowing you to slide sideways. Although you use two boards, they are part of the snowboarding family rather than skiing. The freedom to move both feet independently is the main appeal, offering a sensation similar to 'free skating on snow.' Why not try this new winter activity at Sugadaira Kogen Pinebeak Ski Resort in Nagano Prefecture? Both experienced free skaters and first-time snowboarders are welcome. During the 3-hour lesson, you will start with the basics, such as how to handle the boards, walk, and stop, before progressing according to your experience and skill level. If you get stuck, your instructor will work with you to review and practice until you get it right. Learn at your own pace and discover the joy of sliding! - Daily Itinerary - 1. Reception & Equipment Preparation If you are not using the pickup service, please gather in front of the Center House at the Oomatsu Area of Sugadaira Kogen Pinebeak Ski Resort 30 minutes before the lesson starts. If you would like pickup from your accommodation within Sugadaira Kogen, please provide the name of your accommodation when booking. Wait near the entrance of your accommodation at the pickup time we will provide individually. After reception, we will assist those who need to rent boots or purchase lift tickets. Then, we will check the fit of your boards and bindings before starting the lesson. 2. Get Used to the Boards! Basic Movement Practice We will start by checking how to handle the boards and basic posture, then practice moving one foot at a time, standing, and walking. 3. Stopping & Speed Control Practice how to stop and control your speed on a gentle slope. Learn how to orient your boards and shift your weight while moving. 4. Challenge Yourself Based on Your Skill Level Once you are comfortable with the basics, we will move on to sliding practice on a slope suited to your skill level. Slide with your instructor and repeatedly practice areas where you might be struggling. Breaks will be taken according to your energy level and the situation. 5. Review & Equipment Return At the end of the lesson, we will review what you have learned and discuss points for future practice. Return your rental equipment to finish the session.
Move both feet freely! A free skating experience on snow
Separate snowboards involve attaching a short board to each foot and sliding sideways. Since you can move both feet independently, you can walk and run while wearing the boards, not just slide. For experienced free skaters, this is a fun way to test your skills on snow!
A thorough 3-hour session at your own pace, even for beginners
Start with board handling, walking, and stopping, and progress according to your experience and skill level. An instructor will guide you throughout the 3 hours, so you can ask questions on the spot and practice repeatedly. Snowboard beginners are welcome.
Dedicated boards and bindings rental included!
A 3-hour rental of dedicated boards and bindings is included in the package price. You can use regular snowboard boots. Please bring your own or rent them separately at the ski resort. *Boot rental fees and lift ticket fees are paid separately.

Move each foot independently! The freedom of two boards

Your first step starts with board handling

Check even small questions on the spot

Once you are used to the basics, enjoy sliding on the slopes!
