Private Ski Lessons & Guiding around Niseko

Tailored ski experiences for all levels, from first turns to deep powder.

HOW I WORK

Epic ski lessons. Untracked powder. Pure Hokkaido.

From private ski lessons to powder guiding and ski touring. I offer personalised mountain experiences across Niseko, Rusutsu and Kiroro. Every day is built around your ability, goals and the snow conditions. Whether you're looking to refine your technique, explore Japan's legendary powder or venture beyond the resort, we'll make the most of your time on the mountain. Three ways to experience Hokkaido. One goal: making every day on snow count.

Martin Antun

Lead Ski Instructor & Ski Guide

I'm Martín, a professional ski instructor from Patagonia, Argentina, currently working in Hokkaido, Japan. I hold an Argentine Level 4 Ski Instructor certification and an ISIA card recognising my international professional qualifications. I've been teaching skiing since 2011, working at renowned ski resorts across Argentina, the United States and Japan, including Park City, Deer Valley, Niseko and Rusutsu. Although I studied Economics and Finance, I found my true passion in the mountains and in helping others improve their skiing. My goal is to help every skier build confidence, develop their skills and make the most of their time on the snow. Whether you're looking to improve your technique, enjoy Niseko's famous powder or explore the mountains of Hokkaido, I'd be happy to help you make the most of your ski experience.
