Description
A fairytale location
NISEKO and TOKYO – 17 to 26 January 2020
There is a place on every snowboarder’s dream list where it snows every night, there are mountains with suggestive shapes, where you wake up in the morning and find snow of an unreal quality and lightness. It’s not a legend, it really exists! Known all over the world as a freeride Mecca: Niseko is an epic experience.
Niseko is in the island of Hokkaido, the northernmost island of Japan, here Siberian cold cloud systems collide with the humid currents of the Pacific Ocean and discharge a lot of dust (for us). The Niseko area is divided into 4 connected ski resorts, so you never get bored. January is the best time to enjoy it! You’ll see a completely different way to experience the mountains, all slopes are slopes.
We’ll stay in modern Chalets right in Niseko. You will be guided by our FISI master freeride experts. In these ten days we will be snowing but not only, it will be a journey in the true sense of the word. From Hokkaido with internal flight we will dive in the capital Tokyo, because our camps are also fun and discovery. A level of snowboarding from intermediate to high is required. Skiers are also welcome to participate. Skiers will be supervised by freeride instructors from our partner school Nazionale-Des Alpes.
We warn in advance that this kind of experience can be addictive. If you realize it’s becoming a problem don’t keep reading.
