We recommend that if you have any particular requests for things you would like to do, such as primarily park or tree-skiing, please let our reservations team know when you make your reservation. This will give our <\/span>team the best chance to match you with the perfect instructor. On the day, please feel free to let your instructor know any goals and they will be glad to incorporate them into the program.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Do I need a lift ticket and is one included in the cost?”][vc_column_text]A valid Akakura Resort lift ticket is required for all participants<\/span>.<\/span> Lift tickets are not<\/span>\u00a0included in the lesson cost but can be purchased at the resort\u2019s ticket office or any Myoko Snowsports front desk.
