Tara, Canada – Snowsports Instructor (GoSnow)

"Niseko Central gave me the opportunity to snowboard lots in an incredible location, whilst working alongside a great team from all over the world! It is a good way to experience some of the Japanese culture, but still live the seasonaire lifestyle."

As with all jobs there are the expected challenges but in all 3 seasons I can honestly say I have been part of fantastic teams that have made the job as much fun as it is getting the work experience."
