Program Details

The team at Ski Japan Junior Training Academy (SJTA) are motivated by the evolution of the competitive ski and board scene. We believe that challenging the next generation of athletes is the key.

Now entering its 6th year of operation, our passion and drive to develop progressive camps that are fun, safe and challenging in specific disciplines such as GS, Moguls, Skier/Boarder Cross and Slopestyle, has become a success.

The program aims to train aspiring junior skiers and boarders aged 7-18 years for success at the Inter-school competitions in the powder capital of the world – Niseko.

To better cater for its participants, Ski Japan Junior Training Academy is a mobile program which adapts to best suit the snow conditions in a number of local resorts, such as Kiroro, Moiwa and Rusutsu.

The camps are structured for 5 or 6 days, December through April, with weekly GS fun races rewarding the kids with a medal presentation. These camps can also be tailored for school groups.

 

 

It is important to understand that the SJTA is a mobile camp and as such the plan can/will change daily. The coaches are very skilled at planning and adapting the program to best suit the conditions on the day.

What to expect

  • Daily Coaching
  • Daily Lift Pass
  • Daily Video Analysis
  • Daily Lunch
  • Transport from Niseko to the training Venue
  • Weekly timed GS fun race with medal presentation.

Please note

The purpose of these camps is to prepare athletes for competition. As such it is important to train with the equipment you plan to compete on. The following is a list of items that we recommend:

  • Competition skis (i.e. Race/Mogul/Freestyle) or snowboard
  • Boots/poles
  • Helmet/goggles/gloves
  • Race suit (GS)/knee patches (moguls)
  • Gear bag, extra layers etc.
