Product Info

The most popular airboarding experience this winter is held in the Oumino region of Gifu Prefecture [Takayama City]. Airboarding is a winter outdoor experience where you can learn to 'turn', 'stop', and 'steer' freely after a simple lecture! Even beginners to winter sports can participate with peace of mind and have fun. Our complimentary tour photos (data) (1 per group) are very popular. The sense of speed as you slide just above the snow surface and the sight of you kicking up snow spray are full of impact. Since you slide while lying down, there is zero fear of falling like in skiing or snowboarding. Even for first-timers, you will surely be carving beautiful tracks on the slopes before you know it!! This is a super rare snow activity that is still held in very few places in Japan.
It is not just about sliding down a silver slope! An airboard tour full of fun.
Challenge the courses you would normally ski on with an airboard! Start from gentle slopes and, as you improve, slide to your heart's content on steep slopes and bumpy uncompressed snow courses! You can enjoy an immersive sliding experience with your eyes close to the pure white snowy slope. It is not just about sliding; it is also full of playful elements! We have prepared various props and programs, such as airboard tunnel crawling and the Snow Flag Championship, so you can improve while having fun like in a game.
Beginners can also enjoy it with peace of mind! Programs tailored to the participant's level.
The ski resort is broadly divided into uncompressed snow zones and compressed snow zones. Since the uncompressed snow 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 use the open space wisely.
Only Tripper offers airboarding at 'Shokawa Kogen Ski Resort'.
Tripper is the only airboard guide service authorized by 'Shokawa Kogen Ski Resort'. We have received permission from the ski resort to slide on all courses.

Meet and register at the ski resort. Please meet at the free rest area in the ski resort. *Please finish renting equipment and changing clothes before meeting. After registration, program guidance, and document filling, the airboarding will begin.
Stretching & basic operation practice. Loosen up your body with stretches to prevent injuries. After the explanation of the airboard's structure, we will thoroughly practice the basics of 'stopping' and 'turning' on flat ground.
Finally, onto the slopes. You have finally reached the slopes. First, let's master 'stopping' and 'turning' on gentle slopes with some movement. It won't go well at first, but you will gradually get the hang of it. Please don't rush.
For airboarding, 'stopping' is key. There are 3 steps to stopping. Learn them gradually and master a cool way to stop by the end.
First, practice one turn at a time. At the beginning, we will practice one turn at a time to be sure. You might feel like you are not turning at first, but you definitely are, so don't give up and keep shifting your weight properly.
Mastering continuous turns. Once you can perform the basic movements, it is time to practice continuous turns. You will feel yourself getting used to handling the airboard. If you gain too much speed, you should naturally be able to use the 'stopping' posture you just learned.
Incorporate play to acquire skills. By incorporating play, you will find yourself able to turn before you know it. Let's make tunnels with the airboard or try turning with the lift pillars as targets.
Challenge the steep slopes. If you repeat the practice, it is possible to slide on some steep slopes. Focus on weight shifting, eye level, 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 can handle steep slopes, change your starting point according to your individual ability and enjoy the airboard run. Please enjoy a speed that feels comfortable for you without pushing yourself.
Tea time on the snow. Recharge your energy towards the end of the tour. We have prepared warm drinks and snacks.
Commemorative photo for everyone. A commemorative photo with today's airboard team. Full of energy!
The snow spray looks so cool! Towards the end of the tour, you will be used to the airboard and your form will be perfect.
Let's all slide together. Try sliding simultaneously with your friends and be aware of each other.
Using the slope of the ski resort. Let's try sliding using the slope of the ski resort. The change in perspective makes it even more fun.
Snow Flag Championship. Who can get the target first? The Snow Flag Championship begins.
