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.

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).

The ‘She Shreds’ ski & snowboard camp at Mount Cain is designed to hone your skills in all types of terrain in a fun, all female environment. You’ll learn not only what to do to improve your technique, but also why these strategies are effective and how to apply them to varying terrain and snow conditions.
Video analysis will be available (weather permitting) and is a great tool to further your understanding. This combination means you’ll leave the camp with new skills to handle whatever the mountain throws at you.
Riding with a great group of women will help you push your comfort zone and build confidence in a supportive atmosphere. As well as high end coaching from an experienced instructor, the camp includes morning warm ups and a warm down and stretch session on Saturday afternoon. Not forgetting the all-important après session on Saturday evening to round out an unforgettable girls’ weekend!

Besides it’s well known landscape and food, Iceland is dotted with small, quiet ski areas, each with a unique character and spectacular view. The areas may not be sized like the Alps or North America, but what they lack in size they make up for in unforgettable ski memories.
Our tour will start in the east of the country and work back to Reykjavik along the northern coast, ensuring we get plenty of skiing as well as lots of opportunity for fascinating cultural visits.
This camp is ideal any intermediate to expert level skier aiming to improve their skills and explore the wonders of Iceland.
