This itinerary is very well arranged. Xiao Liu, the tour guide and driver, is very attentive and pays attention to the needs of the guests. He explains clearly and is happy to help the guests. We needed to use suitcases because we had too much equipment, so Xiao Liu helped us deal with them immediately. Thank you very much! Highly recommended to participate! !

the renting process was seemless however I would not recommend the gold pass for beginners and I don't recommend it as well if you are not familiar with the bus lines

Great experience with gogoday! Just as listed came with a beginner lesson approx 1hr and a half, equipment (EXCEPT HELMET), lift passes and then followed by free time! Highly recommend for beginners (ie you have skied a couple times before) but first timers will definitely find the free time difficult because the courses are definitely steep! but if you just wanna enjoy being in the snow and learn to ski definitely worth it :) Note: Tour guide and ski instructors don’t speak the best English (but they try their best), however spoke great Mandarin!

It is a good experience for novice skiers, and it also has complete equipment, allowing us to try new experiences. If we have the opportunity, we will order again to experience it👍

The rental location is convenient. . You arrive at the door as soon as you get off the bus. . The rental locations are relatively detailed. . If there are many people, it will be explosive. . You can get one by renting a money service desk. . But if you borrow equipment, there will be a lot of trouble... so the rental time will be longer. . Everyone sets aside time to rent equipment. . The track is convenient and relatively long. . If a novice is skiing for the first time, it would be more appropriate to ask a coach to go with the group. .
