Event Details

Calling all intermediate to expert level skiers! 4 Days of ski all mountain improvement.

Do you want to go faster… go slower… go left more…. go right more? Maybe you want to carve up the groomers with sweeping arcs or make your turns shorter and snappy. Perhaps you want to shred powder, bumps, trees or steeps? On Section 8’s Science Friction camps you determine the objective… and like mad scientists in a snowy laboratory we’ll help you discover your inner ski geek.

Video analysis sessions will help you differentiate your perceptions from reality as our top certified coaches perform a double blind placebo controlled study on your skiing. Whatever the terrain, whatever the conditions, through guided experimentation you’ll discover how to best adapt your technique and tactics to the situation at hand.

Don’t worry, it won’t be all talk. There will be plenty of time for guided mileage and pushing your boundaries.

We’ll wind down each day with a little apres ski social with one evening reserved for a nice group meal to reflect on your recent skiing discoveries… and perhaps tell a tall tale or two.

Event Details

Having more ski resorts than any other country, it’s quite surprising that until a decade or so ago, Japanese ski hills received little attention and remained relatively undiscovered by most western shredders. Now, after a few ski & board movies put Japan in the lime light, the secret is out and you have undoubtedly heard countless stories of its legendary neck deep powder.

It’s true the skiing is great and we all love powder. There’s no doubt about that! But in Japan, the ridiculous snow fall is only a small part of the experience. On Section 8’s Snow Ninja tour, not only will you be shralping pow and technique geeking it out with Section 8 coaches on some of Japan’s best slopes… but you’ll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the uniqueness of the ultra friendly and often a little quirky Japanese culture. We’ll stay in traditional Japanese Ryokan’s, eat what has to be the world’s most delicious and elegantly presented food, and spend plenty of time soaking our tired limbs in soothing onsens (traditional Japanese hot springs).
