PROGRAMME:

Starting early to take advantage of the great morning conditions we will ski around 5 hours.

The camp will feature at least one additional ski resort other than our main resort, Furano.

Depending on the conditions, we decide on a day to day basis where we will go. On the traveling days we aim to leave around 7:00 am at your accommodation. The drive to the different resorts will take approximately one hour.

Breaks will be planned according to the situation. After our ski day we try to go to a Japanese Onsen to relax our muscles.

GROUPS:

Max 6 participants of similar ability per group.

Participants for each week are selected by Hansjörg and Klaus. We put together teams that are similar in ability and goals. As soon as we have enough participants of similar ability, we send you an email and confirm your camp. Once this happens you can start to plan.
