For confident riders who already own the whole resort and want to ride it better.

If you’re comfortable on every red and black on-piste and you’re starting to venture off the groomers, this camp sharpens the skills that separate good riders from great ones — proper powder technique, reading and riding tree lines, and handling steep, variable off-piste terrain with control.

Your package includes 4.5 days of full day group lessons on the same mountains as your friends on the Hosted Experience! To ensure effective learning, the group will be assessed and split up into different skill levels.

BONUS: If you’re not a breakfast person, swop your breakfast for a meal ticket to have lunch on the slopes!

Get warm and unwind at the onsen before grabbing dinner at the buffet hall at your own time. After dinner, join the group after that for a nightcap session at the sake lounge or the ice bar outside!

BONUS: If you don’t want to have dinner daily at the hotel, you have the option to hop on a bus to Aizu-wakamatsu, where you can take a meal ticket to selected Izakayas in the town area!

Each evening, our team of hosts will check the latest snow and weather conditions to pick the best resort for the next day, and give you tips on how to layer up properly!

Time to say goodbye! But wait, you thought we are done with riding? Not at Aizu! Late check out is available 2PM, so for those who do not need to head off for your flight home, you get to enjoy ONE LAST RIDE in the morning — with special first ride service!

Optional: Choose to check out late and one last free and easy riding session in Aizu. You will have to make your own transport arrangements if you choose this option!

With 5 days on the mountains, 4.5 days of lessons and free and easy afternoon in between, with an option to ride on Day 7 if you opt for late check out!
