It snowed heavily that day, but fortunately the ski resort didn't stop. There are not many people in this ski resort, so you don't have to crowd with others! Very pleased with the overall flow of this event!

From the moment she stepped onto the ski resort, Xun Xun showed her sense of security. Xun Xun breaks down complex skiing techniques into simple steps and uses simple metaphors to explain the principles of center of gravity transfer and braking, so that even beginners can quickly understand. During the process, Xunxun was always able to accurately detect the students' nervousness, carefully analyzed every step, and pointed out my inappropriate habits one by one. Moreover, Xunxun does not blindly apply fixed teaching models. The instructor will flexibly adjust the guidance method based on the students' physical coordination and psychological state. For example, for people who are afraid of speed, rhythm control is emphasized, and for people with body stiffness, visual cues are used to assist. This tailor-made teaching enabled me, who had poor balance, to quickly master skiing skills. When I officially stepped on the double board and started to try to slide, she even helped me fix my posture in front of me so that I could find my balance at a slow speed. This kind of guidance without any sense of oppression made me willing to give it a try, and before I knew it, I was able to slide down the beginner slope smoothly! The company's commitment to safety is also impressive. From safely holding the equipment to the posture of falling to the ground, the inquiry always considers potential risks in advance. She even took the initiative to adjust the tightness of the students' protective gear. And observe everyone's physical condition to ensure that no one is forcing themselves to practice. This delicate observation ability made me, a first-time skier, feel at ease and able to fully focus on enjoying the process. She also took me to the top of the mountain in the afternoon to find some beautiful locations for taking photos. She helped us take photos and taught us how to pose for them. She also explained what the backgrounds were from different angles, such as the direction in which we could take photos of Otaru. During the teaching process, he would also use his mobile phone to record us, so that I could keep a record of my success. This journey made me deeply realize that a good coach is not only a technical instructor, but also a builder of learning confidence. Thank you for using your professionalism and enthusiasm to transform skiing into an adventure full of fulfillment.

It was my first time to experience skiing by myself, and I was a little nervous and clumsy, but Coach Bam was very patient in guiding me. I am very grateful to him ☺️In addition to skiing, I also took a cable car and played in the snow, and took a lot of beautiful photos. It was really a happy experience! I recommend everyone to come and play😆It should be noted that the package I bought does not include gloves and helmets. You need to purchase them for an additional 2200 yen, or prepare them yourself

The coach taught very well and was very patient. Because no one knew how to do it, it was still very hard to watch one by one. The key point was that the photography skills were great👍
