Overview

Two weeks of high-end, ride-everything coaching for intermediate and advanced snowboarders looking to push every aspect of their riding to the next level.

This camp is all about progressing 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 Akakura or 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!

Skills & Focuses

This camp is more focused on coaching, however we will still take you to some great spots on powder days.

Please read our FAQs for further understanding of how the ratio of coaching and guiding is applied on camps.

Ability Levels

This camp is aimed at intermediate and advanced level riders. We often have three groups running on this camp, so it is usually possible to move people between the groups. Read about our five-stage ability level here.
