The annual Atomic All-Star Camp is an event where professional skiers from the Japan Atomic Team and users can interact through lessons and other activities. This season, the camp will be held over two days, from April 17th (Sat) to April 18th (Sun), at Nozawa Onsen Ski Resort
Every year, hundreds of fans visit Nozawa Onsen for this festival event, which marks the end of the season
The athlete guests will include promising young athletes such as Seigo Kato, a Japanese representative from the local Nozawa Onsen, in the alpine racing category, Ryu Sugai, who recently came second at the Russia World Cup in the ski cross category, and Ryu Takeda, Japan's top demonstrator, in the demo category, bringing together a distinguished lineup of people you don't usually get to see
In addition, a new FREERIDE SESSION will be added this season, with lessons in "freeride, slopestyle, and halfpipe."
The freeride team will feature Tsuyoshi Kodama, who has skied down North America's highest peak, Denali, and other big mountains around the world. Slopestyle will feature Gen Sasaki, a former member of the Japanese national team and currently active in freeride skiing. In halfpipe, Sochi Olympic bronze medalist Ayana Onozuka will also be joining the team, making for another impressive lineup
The FREERIDE category was established with the aim of nurturing promising young freeskiers. Specifically, it aims to develop athletes who will compete in the Freeride Junior Tour, a world championship for freeride skiing. The slopestyle/halfpipe category aims to develop athletes who will compete in future world championships such as FIS. Therefore,
participants are limited to those aged 15-19 in the freeride category, and those in the upper grades of elementary school through third-year high school in the slopestyle and halfpipe categories. (There are no age restrictions for camps in other categories.)
Participation in the camp requires prior application. You can choose to attend one or both days of the two-day event.
This is a once-in-a-year camping event.
