Aizu 2 Snowboard Beginner Camp
Min level: 1 Designed for riders who’ve already had a taste of the sport and want to lock it in. If you’ve spent a few days on snow, can slide down a green slope on your edges, and you’re now working on linking proper toe-and-heel turns, this camp gets you riding green runs smoothly and confidently. Our certified instructors will clean up any bad habits picked up early on, build on the correct foundation, and get you linking clean S-turns top to bottom — so you leave the week riding the mountain rather than surviving it. Who is this for? • Beginners who’ve had a couple of days on the slopes and can ride a green run on their edges • Anyone still working on linking turns and wanting to perfect their S-turns on green terrain What you will learn: • Cleaning up bad habits picked up early on • Building a solid, balanced riding stance • Confident toe-side and heel-side turns • Linking C-turns into clean S-turns • Controlling your speed using turn size & shape • Riding all green runs smoothly and confidently • Introduction to riding red slopes & switch riding (if ready)

We know this is not a boot camp and there’s no need to rush through your holiday, so take some time to yourself with a Free and Easy day in the middle of the week. Ride, eat, be merry – it’s all up to you.

After breakfast, gather for 2.5 hours of lessons before lunch break
Lunch
Lunch break on the slopes!
BONUS: If you’re not a breakfast person, swop your breakfast for a meal ticket to have lunch on the slopes!
Afternoon

Evening
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!

Accomodation
Spacious lakeside resort
Your home for the week is a spacious lakeside resort, just a 15-minute drive from the Nekoma ski lifts. With daily buffet breakfast and dinner included, you can fuel up before first lifts and feast after a big day on the mountain without lifting a finger to plan it. When the boots come off, the resort really comes alive. Sink into the indoor or open-air onsen, sweat it out in the sauna, then regroup with the crew over a drink at the cocktail bar. There’s a whole lineup to keep the good times rolling — pool, table tennis, VR golf, and a KTV room for when the night demands a sing-along. Soak, play, refuel, repeat — this is après done the Japanese way.

You’ve asked for more ways to explore the mountains and this season, we’re making it happen. With a 7d6n itinerary starting this season, this means you can travel *between* our destinations and take in the sights of Japan without worrying about rushing on your holiday! From camps that open up progression across more levels – think carving, tree riding, even backcountry – to exploration experiences and expeditions designed to take you deeper into the mountains – you can experience it all, or as much as possible.
More ways to ride, more ways to progress – if this sounds like your kind of season, you’ll want in early.
Early Bird Sale begins 1 July, 4pm.
First Dibs go live on 30 June!
Alts Bandai
Combined with the North Area, the Nekoma mountain area boasts 33 runs across 3 peaks. The South Area (formerly known as Alts Bandai) is connected to the hotel, with a cat-skiing and in-resort heli ski zone, a terrain park, as well as a 2.5 km groomed slope with majestic views of Lake Inawashiro. Night skiing is also available here.
Nekoma
Connected to the South Area via a chairlift, or walking trial at the top of the mountain, the North Area is where we go for deep powder runs and steep tree sections. With a terrain park to suit all riding levels, here’s where you level up without the pressure. When the storm’s coming in, the top lift is closed for days to accumulate pow – and we get first ride service to enjoy all that!
Inawashiro
The resort that made us fall in love with the Aizu mountain area. With a total of 10 chairlifts, 33 runs, and plenty of ungroomed areas and steep tree runs – everyone is spoilt for choice here. Inawashiro is split into 3 areas – Sky, Base and Minero with a good mix of beginner, intermediate and advanced slopes in each.
Gran Deco
A great resort for those learning how to ski or snowboard! Mellow terrain with no crowds make learning and practicing at Gran Deco a breeze without the pressure of avoiding others. Gran Deco also has an easy snow-surf park with easy rollers and small banks, along with wide open runs to practice carving too.
