A Michelin 3-Star Ski and Snowboard School!!!

To borrow the Via Michelin Guide’s terminology, the Furano International Snowsport School (“FISS”) is a Michelin 3-star experience – it is well worth going to Furano if only just for getting private ski (or snowboard) lessons with the instructors at FISS. I did, a few...More

Friendly and expert instructors

The standard of instruction was excellent and the rates were competitive. The instructor was great at identifying individual strengths and weaknesses and building confidence (which is, after all, what skiing is mostly about).
