Product Info

A convenient tour with transportation from JR Gifu Station If you are worried about driving on snowy roads or cannot meet at the site with your own car, please choose the JR Gifu Station meeting course. You will enjoy a full half-day of airboarding before returning to JR Gifu Station. No driving fatigue! Feel free to enjoy airboarding easily. *Participation fees are discounted based on the number of participants. Recommended for beginners as we provide thorough lectures on basic operations! Challenge yourself to the exhilarating and refreshing experience of airboarding. First, we will do some stretching before the tour, and then practice the basics of 'stopping' and 'turning' while observing individual progress. (We strictly ensure that participants can perform basic movements before heading to the slopes.) After basic training, you will ride the lift and enjoy airboarding several times. Airboarding is not just about sliding. While 'the joy of sliding' is the premise, we provide various props and programs to help you improve while having fun like a game. You will find yourself getting better without even realizing it while playing! This is the Tripper style of enjoying airboarding. Finally, depending on individual ability, we will change the starting point and enjoy an airboard run. Please enjoy a speed that feels comfortable for you without pushing yourself. At the end of the tour, let's predict your fortune for the year with an airboard snow flag championship where you compete with your friends.

Recommended for those who are worried about driving on snowy roads. Spend your time relaxing in our shuttle vehicle on the way there and back.
More than just sliding down snowy slopes! An airboard tour packed with fun
Challenge courses usually meant for skiing on an airboard! Start from gentle slopes and, as you improve, slide down steep slopes and bumpy, unpressed snow courses to your heart's content! You can enjoy an immersive sliding experience with your eyes close to the pure white snowy slopes. It is not just about sliding; it is packed with playful elements! We provide various props and programs, such as airboard tunnel passing and snow flag championships, to help you improve while having fun like a game.
Beginner-friendly! Programs tailored to participants' skill levels
The ski resort is broadly divided into unpressed snow zones and pressed snow zones. Since the unpressed zones have terrain that is difficult for skiers and snowboarders to enter, you can slide without stress while avoiding crowds. Since Shokawa Kogen Ski Resort is relatively uncrowded, you can enjoy long course runs if you make good use of the open space.

Meet at the JR Gifu Station Central South Exit. After meeting at the JR Gifu Station Central South Exit, we will head to Shokawa Kogen Ski Resort in our company vehicle. Please have your lunch in the car during the trip.
Arrival at the ski resort, reception, changing clothes, and warm-up. We will stretch to loosen up your body and prevent injuries. After the explanation of the airboard structure, we will thoroughly practice the basics of 'stopping' and 'turning' on flat ground.
Finally, to the slopes. We finally head to the slopes. First, let's master 'stopping' and 'turning' by incorporating movements on gentle slopes. You might not do well at first, but you will gradually get the hang of it. Please do not rush.
'Stopping is important' for airboarding. There are three steps to stopping. Learn them gradually and master a cool way to stop by the end.
First, practice one turn at a time. At first, practice one turn at a time. You might feel like you are not turning, but you are definitely turning, so do not give up and keep shifting your weight.
Mastering continuous turns. Once you can perform basic movements, it is time to practice continuous turns. You will feel yourself gradually getting used to handling the airboard. If you go too fast, you should naturally be able to adopt the 'stopping' posture you learned earlier.
Learning techniques through play. By incorporating play, you will find yourself able to turn before you know it. Let's try making tunnels with the airboard or turning around lift pillars as targets.
Challenge yourself to steep slopes. If you repeat the practice, you can slide down some steep slopes. Focus on weight shifting, eye contact, and foot usage to aim for further improvement. First, go back to basics and carve one turn at a time.
Finish with a pleasant airboard run. Once you are able to handle steep slopes, let's change the starting point according to individual ability and enjoy the airboard run. Please enjoy a speed that feels comfortable for you without pushing yourself.
Tea time on the snow. Let's take a break with tea time. Recharge your energy with warm drinks and snacks.
Airboard Snow Flag Championship. Once you are able to handle steep slopes, let's change the starting point according to individual ability and enjoy the airboard run. Please enjoy a speed that feels comfortable for you without pushing yourself.
Tour ends and head to JR Gifu Station. The tour ends with a final run and the last program, the Airboard Snow Flag Championship. After changing clothes, we will head back to JR Gifu Station.
Arrival at JR Gifu Station. It was a day that went by in a flash. Please travel home safely. Thank you very much.
