Why SnowWind
Why SnowWind
01
Certified, accountable
A JSBA-certified school. Six certified coaches led by principal KAKU — every one rigorously assessed.
02
Careful teaching, our own app
We helped translate JSBA's Japanese carving terminology, and we never stop drilling our coaches' own riding.
Booking, 3D resort maps, run tracking, after-lesson feedback — all in SnowWind's own app.
03
Booked with confidence
Transparent pricing, one online payment, your coach locked in once the schedule is confirmed — liability insurance included in every lesson. Less worry, more riding.
What we do
Our lineup is simple: three courses — A, B and C — covering the first day on a board through advanced snowboarding and skiing, with content and prices fully public. Home resorts: Sapporo Kokusai, Teine, Asarigawa and FU's.

A powder index for all of Hokkaido — only at SnowWind
Only one place in Japan ever published a powder index: Furano's official Fuwa-Sara score, which uses snow-to-liquid ratio to estimate how dry and light the snow is. We took that method, recalibrated it with snowfall, wind, snow age and depth, and extended it to nine major resorts across Hokkaido. Updated daily once the season opens in December — so you know where to ride tomorrow.

SnowWind.org — beyond the ropes
Off the groomers we wear a second hat: snowwind.org, our sister brand — software built for backcountry and alpine-touring riders, with terrain and snow intel and trip-planning tools. It runs on a separate track from lessons: classes stay inside managed resort areas; the backcountry calls for real training, gear and partners — snowwind.org helps you do the homework.
