Trailside Apartments

WHY is this important?

Direct Bookings are very important for small accommodation businesses. Your payment fully supports the service provider, without a significant % commission going to a tax-avoiding multinational OTA (online travel website). Direct bookings are bookings made through our website or via email or phone. We truly appreciate your support, and will be delighted to provide exclusive direct booking benefits to our loyal customers

Upgrades available:

This promotion is designed to encourage beginner skiers and snowboarders, and to promote group guiding. If these products are not suitable for your needs, you may upgrade your applicable free offer to a different product with Imagine Japan (the ski school).

The following value will be credited towards a different product -

4 hour beginner lesson -> ¥20,000 credit towards another product

Full day group guided tour -> ¥15,000 credit towards another product

​

For example if you book accommodation at Trailside Apartments Niseko for 3 nights and are not a beginner, we will credit ¥20,000 per eligible 4 hr beginner lesson towards a higher level product - such as a high level private lesson or private backcountry guide. Or if you book 5 nights and want to book a private guide to be able to go into the backcountry with your own exclusive group (1-4 people max, no strangers), we will credit ¥15,000 per eligible group guided tour towards a private backcountry guide.

 

All offers are subject to Imagine Japan's instructor and guide availability, and favourable weather conditions (for safety reasons). Exact lesson times may be subject to change at late notice in the event of unforseen circumstances.

 

Access to genuine backcountry (going outside resort boundaries into the backcountry) is not available on group guided tours. Please inquire about private guided tours for this product. Backcountry safety gear and training is mandatory to depart resort gates, guests must be aware of an inherent risk of avalanche - group activities are not suitable in this environment.

 

*Bookings must be made, and deposit received, by July 31 2023 to be eligibile for this promotion

*This offer is not redeemable for cash under any circumstances.

*The promotion applies to products available only during the duration of your accommodation booking.
