Japan
Overview
Two weeks of high-end, ride-everything coaching for advanced snowboarders looking to push every aspect of their riding to the next level.
This camp is all about pushing your ability level in lots of different environments; park, powder and piste. There is a heavy freestyle focus on this camp, but that doesn't mean we'll only be riding park. We'll be taking spins in to the off-trail, looking for natural jibs, and laying out morning carve/butter combos when there's no fresh snow to be had.
We typically start out at our local base in Madarao Mountain Resort, then spend time at a wide variety of resorts in the region including Nozawa Onsen, X-Jam, Shiga Kogen, Myoko Suginohara and Lotte Arai. Daily transport to all resorts is provided, as are transfers from the local train station in Iiyama. The start and end dates specified above are the departure and arrival days (i.e. not on snow).
Like all our Japan camps, our base for these two weeks is the CAMP3 Clubhouse Madarao. We all stay together, in our very own clubhouse, coaches included!
The lead coach on this camp will be Richie Johnston.

Ability Levels
This camp will likely have two groups:
- A strong intermediate group - for those comfortable on all groomed terrain and beginning to ride off-piste and building confidence in the park.
- An advanced level group - for those who want to push their riding and break through that glass ceiling (ideal for instructors looking to progress from Level Two to Level Three).
