Product Info

This winter's most anticipated activity, airboarding, is taking place in Takayama City, Oku-Mino, Gifu Prefecture. After a brief instruction, you'll experience the joy of turning, stopping, and maneuvering with ease! This winter outdoor experience is perfect for beginners. Free photos (one per group) are also included. The sense of speed as you ski along the snow surface and the sight of you skiing, kicking up clouds of snow, are truly impressive. Since you ski while lying flat, there's no need to worry about falling like with skiing or snowboarding. Even first-timers are sure to find themselves carving amazing tracks on the slopes before they know it! This is an incredibly rare snow activity, with very few locations in Japan offering it.
It's not just about gliding down the snowy slopes! A fun-filled airboard tour
Take on the challenge of skiing on an airboard! Start on gentle slopes and, as you improve, glide down steep slopes and uneven, ungroomed courses! Lower your gaze to the world of pure white slopes and enjoy a truly immersive skiing experience. It's not just skiing, there are plenty of playful elements too! We have a variety of props and programs available, such as airboard tunnel diving and snow flag championships, to help you improve while having fun like in a game.
Beginners can enjoy it with peace of mind! Program contents tailored to the level of participants
The ski resort is roughly divided into an unpacked zone and a packed snow zone. The unpacked zone has terrain that makes it difficult for skiers and snowboarders to enter, so you can avoid the crowds and ski without stress. Shokawa Kogen Ski Resort is relatively empty, so if you make good use of the open spaces, you can ski down long courses.
Only trippers can enjoy airboarding at Shokawa Kogen Ski Resort
Tripper is the only airboard guide service authorized by Shokawa Kogen Ski Resort. We have permission from the ski resort to ski on all courses.

Meet and check in at the ski resort. Please meet at the ski resort or free rest area. *Please rent equipment and change into clothes before meeting. After check-in, program information, and paperwork, the airboarding will begin.
Stretching and practicing basic maneuvers. Stretching loosens up the body to prevent injury. After an explanation of the Airboard's structure, participants will practice the basics of stopping and turning on flat ground.
Finally, we're on the slopes. Finally, we're on the slopes. First, practice on gentle slopes and master stopping and turning. You won't do well at first, but you'll gradually get the hang of it. Don't rush.
Stopping is important when using an airboard. There are three steps to stopping. Gradually learn them and eventually master the coolest way to stop.
First, practice one turn. At first, practice one turn at a time. At first, it may feel like you're not turning, but you're definitely turning, so don't give up and keep shifting your weight.
Mastering consecutive turns. Once you've mastered the basic movements, it's time to practice consecutive turns. You'll gradually feel yourself getting used to handling the airboard. If you go too fast, you'll naturally be able to stop as you learned earlier.
Incorporate play into your skills. By incorporating play into your skills, you will be able to make turns before you know it. Try making a tunnel with the air board or turning using the lift pillar as a target.
Challenge yourself on a steep slope. With repeated practice, you will be able to ski down a moderately steep slope. Aim to improve by being conscious of your weight shift, line of sight, and footwork. First, go back to the basics and master each turn.
Finish with a pleasant airboard run. Once you can handle the steep slopes, try changing your starting point and enjoying an airboard run depending on your individual ability. Enjoy the feeling of speed that is comfortable for you without pushing yourself too hard.
Tea time on the snow. Recharge your energy towards the end of the tour. Hot drinks and snacks are provided.
A commemorative photo of everyone. A commemorative photo of today's AirBo and the team. Full of energy!
The snow flakes look so cool! Towards the end of the tour, everyone was getting used to the airboard and their form was perfect.
