Thank You for an Amazing 2025 Season!

Over 130 skiers joined us for SOFA SKI CAMPS JAPAN 2025 — and what a season it was!
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who made it so special: amazing people, unforgettable snow, great vibes, and world-class coaching. We're grateful to have shared the mountains with you.

Sofa Ski Camps Japan 2026 – In the Works!

We’re already planning our return to the Hokkaido Powder Belt for 2026 and can’t wait to welcome both returning and new faces.

What’s planned for next season:

  • Camps are likely shifting to Monday–Friday instead of Sunday–Thursday

  • A new optional warm-up day on Sunday with our coaches and guides

  • More flexible travel days and additional options coming soon

But the adventure doesn’t stop in Japan —
You can also join us in New Zealand and Austria, where the same coaching philosophy, small groups, and great vibes continue.
And who knows... we might even have new locations coming up for 2026 and beyond!

Spots will be limited again — and based on last season, they’ll fill fast. Stay tuned for updates and registration info.

We’re excited for what’s ahead and hope to ski with you soon!

Powdered Symphony Three carve the silence of winter’s deep, Through Japan’s white trees, where secrets sleep. The forest bows to each daring glide, As snow sprays wide, like the sea’s soft tide. The women lead, with grace and speed, In powder’s dance, where spirits feed. Her skis slice clean, the trail she weaves, A fleeting ghost among snow-clad leaves. The others follow, in awe, in chase, As she paints the mountain’s untouched face. Laughter and spray in a whispered wood— A powder run, pure, wild, and good. #skiing #powder #japowder #skiimprovement #japow #hokkaidopowderbelt #sofaskicampsjapan #friends #girlpower #sofaskicamps @sofaski_com @illykathryn
