How good do I need to be to join the intermediate ski camps?

This camp caters for a broad range of abilities, from early intermediate to advanced skiers. As a minimum you should be a fairly confident skier comfortable on most groomed terrain. This is a technique-focused camp, working primarily on piste in Niseko and Rusutsu, Hokkaido, Japan.

What can I expect on an Alpine Adventures ski camp?

Alpine Adventures ski camps in Hokkaido, Japan are crafted for intermediate skiers looking to increase accuracy, control and performance. You can expect expert coaching by certified ISIA Level 3 instructors, handpicked locations across Niseko United and Rusutsu, and a small group of skiers all working toward the same goal — fast-tracked progression, deeper technique, new skills and mountain life.

What is the group size of an Alpine Adventures camp?

Groups are kept to a maximum of 5 participants. Small group sizes mean focused feedback, a social dynamic, and a shared progression environment where every skier is challenged and improving.

How do I know my ski ability level?

Ski ability is typically measured on a scale from Level 1 (Beginner) through to Level 7 (Expert). Level 1 is a first-timer learning snowplough on green slopes. Level 4 (Strong Intermediate) can make confident parallel turns on most blue terrain. Level 6 (Advanced) is comfortable on all groomed runs including reds and blacks. Alpine Adventures intermediate ski camps are suited to Level 3 through Level 6 skiers.

How do I book a ski or snowboard camp with Alpine Adventures?

To book a ski or snowboard camp in Hokkaido with Alpine Adventures, choose your preferred camp date, submit the online booking form, and pay a 30% deposit to confirm your spot. The remaining balance is due 90 days before the camp start date. Spots are limited so early booking is recommended.

What payment methods do Alpine Adventures accept?

Alpine Adventures accepts debit and credit card payments via a secure online payment link (subject to a 4% transaction fee), international bank transfer, and international money transfer via Wise. PayNow and PayLah are available for Singapore-based customers only.

What is the booking and cancellation policy?

A 30% deposit is required to confirm your booking, with the balance due 90 days before the camp. Cancellations made 60 or more days before the camp receive a 100% refund. Cancellations 30 days before receive a 70% refund. Cancellations made less than 30 days before the camp start date are non-refundable.

What happens if the mountain is closed due to bad weather?

If a ski or snowboard camp day is lost due to mountain closure from bad weather, Alpine Adventures will reschedule an additional day at the end of the camp. For private coaching sessions, a make-up session will be arranged subject to instructor availability, or a partial refund will be issued.
