My son was enrolled with Directline Ski instructor for 2 lessons in a day in mid Dec at Washigatake Ski Resort. Ski instructor was very experienced and patient, although we have some difficulty with language a my son can only speak English, the ski school arranged an interpreter (Mr Toshi) to come along. My son has a very pleasant day on the ski slope, learning very useful skill tips and he enjoyed very much. I would recommend DirectLine ski school, they are one of the best.
