Whether exploring
the huge variety of terrain at Niseko, learning new tricks
on one of our booters, skiing and riding the back-country steeps
of Annupuri, each day on the Super Camp will have you begging
for more!
The Niseko Area
The Super Camp is based at Niseko, Japan. The powder mecca! It
receives 15m of snowfall each year - that’s 6m more
than Whistler, double Aspen or any resort in Europe, and 12m
more than any resorts in Australia and New Zealand!
It’s no secret that Niseko is the new
hotspot for skiers and riders around the globe. If you want tons
of powder, a big terrain park, huge back-country terrain, and a
brilliant cultural experience, then this is the place for you!
The Niseko area is made up of 4 resorts – Annupuri, Higashiyama,
Grand Hirafu (Consisting of Hirafu and Hanazono) and Moiwa. The
Super Camp use all 4 of these resorts!
Niseko United
The Niseko-United lift ticket allows you to ski/ride at 3 resorts – Annupuri,
Hirafu/Hanazono and Higashiyama. All the resorts offer terrific
skiing and riding, with Higashiyama offering the best inbounds
steeps, Annupuri the best backcountry, and Hirafu/Hanazono the
best park and pipe.
Generally regarded as ‘Niseko’,
the town of Hirafu is where most tourists end up, however with
almost no effort, you can be riding better, less crowded terrain
on the nearby connected resorts of Annupuri, Higashiyama and Moiwa.
Unlike most other programs, you will have the chance to ride all
4 of these terrific resorts.

Moiwa
Moiwa is Niseko’s hidden gem. The place has virtually no
crowds to speak of, and the terrain is simply brilliant. Niseko’s
single best long groomed run, and tree lined steeps make this place
a ton of fun. With almost no crowds, the snow here stays fresh
and untouched for days at a time. So when everyone else is hiking
and battling to find those 2 turns of fresh, you are just hopping
off the high speed bubble quad and plowing through turn after
turn!!
Moiwa is right out your front door, and is the
perfect place to get away from the ‘Aussie invasion’ of Hirafu. It will
give you that authentic Japanese experience, without being away
from the action!
Freestyle
Niseko is perfect for the new age freestyler. There are parks with
booters and rails at almost every resort, but the place kills
it when it comes to natural hits and back-country. You can learn
tricks on small booters or in the park, then take it out into
the back-country like the pros!
Our backcountry sessions from past camps
have provided the best days of any camp program in the world.
Niseko will be no exception. Tons of powder, amazing views, great
friends, and a variety of booters to hit, as well as powder lines
to poach – these
are the type of sessions that you talk about with your friends
for the rest of your life!
Powder
This is what Niseko is all about. There is so much snow here! You
can almost guarantee to be riding fresh pow and dropping some
serious hits almost every day!
The epic snow comes from huge weather systems
that arrive from Siberia, dropping truckloads of the lightest snow
imaginable on the west coast of Hokkaido – that means Niseko!
You don’t
get much sun, but that’s because it’s always snowing.
Not a bad trade off! With temperatures rarely above freezing, the
powder stays fresh days after a big storm (if not weeks), meaning
you can find powder stashes all the time.
Most of the new videos have Niseko plastered
all over them, with most of the major film companies basing themselves
in Niseko at some stage of the season. All the top pros have
ridden here – don’t
be the one to miss out!

ever..’
