Overview

This one-week long BYO (Build Your Own) Camp is exactly that, a "build-your-own" week of coaching with one of our top-level snowboard trainers.

This camp has the opportunity to go to any resort within an hour's drive of our base in Madarao; including Nozawa Onsen, Shiga Kogen and the Myoko resorts, as well as our local favourite Madarao/Tangram. You have a vehicle assigned to your group and you liaise with the coach to choose where you want to go each day. From park to powder the choice is yours (backcountry riding must be requested and agreed to before booking).

Unlike our other camps, this product is a fixed cost for the week (not per person). The camp includes 5 days of coaching and 7 nights of accommodation. We recommend a minimum of 3 people and have a maximum group size of 6 (the cost is the same either way).

Ability Levels

The BYO Camps camp can be focused on any level you like, from novice through to expert. We recommend that the friends you get together are of a very similar ability to make sure your camp runs smoothly.

Inclusions

Coaching: 5 days of quality coaching at any of the resorts in the region, at 5hrs per day.
