Hakuba & Nozawa, Japan

Snow Ninja Camp

The Venue

Having more ski resorts than any other country, it's quite surprising that until a decade or so ago, Japanese ski hills received little attention from western shredders. Now, after a few ski & board movies put Japan in the limelight, the secret is out and you have undoubtedly heard countless stories of its legendary neck deep powder.

It's true the skiing is great... there's no doubt about that! But in Japan, the ridiculous snowfall is only a small part of the experience. On our Snow Ninja tour, not only will you be shralping pow and technique geeking it out with Section 8 coaches on immaculately groomed slopes... but you'll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the uniqueness of the ultra friendly and often a little quirky Japanese culture.

We begin in the epicentre of the Japanese Alps, surrounded by the breathtaking landscapes of the Hakuba Valley. We'll then move on to the more traditional ground of Nozawa Onsen to fully unwind in the birthplace of skiing in Japan. 

The Package

Technique Ninja & Culture Camp:

  • 11 nights of accommodation (traditional style ryokans)
  • 8 days coaching (4 in Hakuba + 4 in Nozawa Onsen)
