FURANO · POWDER PROGRESSION

Furano Powder Progression

Coaching built around progression, not traditional lessons.

Our Furano coaching is built around progression rather than traditional lessons. Intermediate and Advanced riders come to us to unlock deep, technical powder, and we build that ability day by day, on real terrain, with a coach who rides it every storm cycle.

What we work on

Stance & balance
Line choice
Steep trees
Backcountry-ready*

*Progression starts on-piste. Intro to Powder is for strong groomer riders ready to leave the piste; Advanced Powder Progression builds toward backcountry-ready confidence.

INTRO TO POWDER

Your first deep days

For strong groomer riders ready to leave the piste — balance, stance and line choice in variable, deep snow.

ADVANCED POWDER PROGRESSION

Steeper, deeper, faster

Refine technique in steep trees and off-piste faces, building toward backcountry-ready confidence.

Intro to Powder is for confident groomer riders ready to leave the piste. Advanced Powder Progression is for riders already comfortable off-piste.

No — in Furano we coach progression on real terrain rather than running beginner lessons. Beginner and intermediate lessons are available in Niseko and at Tomamu.

No — lift passes are not included, unless part of a bespoke multi-day package.
