Powder Camps

At NomaDice, we offer bespoke coaching for individuals eager to master their powder turns, whether on open powder fields or slicing and dicing through the trees.  Our camps use creative development techniques and the diverse terrain here in the region to enable you to find your own confidence in the powder.  Come and join one of our small groups and lets see if we can perfect those turns you've always seen in the videos, and soon you'll discover your Japow flow state floating through the bottomless pow.

6 Day Powder/Split Camp

Come and experience a full week of getting amongst it.  4 days of powder seeking and coaching, followed by 2 days getting to grips with splitboarding and finding our own lines out the back

4 Day Powder Camps

Come join like minded snowboarders looking to turn and burn through the powder.  Fed up of sinking or not keeping your flow when the powder gets deep, come and learn some of the tools that make life so much easier when the powder gets deep.  

Private Coaching

If you want to learn all of the above but would rather do so in a 1-2-1 environment we can arrange this at your convenience.  Let us know your dates and we will hopefully be able to fit you in.  

6 Day Powder/Split Camp

Combine 4 Day Powder Camp & 2 Days Splitboarding

We provide Powder Camps and Split Days as distinct options, but we schedule them alongside each other for those who wish to participate in both. This arrangement allows you to enjoy the advantages of each experience. You'll benefit from coaching and powder runs, which will greatly enhance your skills when you venture further with your splitboard, essentially a win win.  Book them together and also benefit from a discount.

Enhance Your Powder Riding Experience!  4 Days To Ride Your Legs Off

High end powder coaching here in Niseko, Japan!

¥160,000 per person

This camp has 4 days creative coaching, offering a perfect mix of guidance and riding time. We aim to assist those who can ride to find a more fluid riding style through the deep snow of Hokkaido. The itinerary includes exploring inbounds powder spots, tree runs, and utilising gate-accessed powder routes in Niseko. Throughout the week, we will be riding both Niseko and Rusutsu, seeking out the best locations and implementing new techniques to make powder riding feel effortless. We will incorporate video analysis to enhance your understanding and to observe how you can interact with the terrain you wish to master.


These camps are setup to leave you riding powder better than you have before.  This isn't technical perfection rather the opposite its learning what movements we use to keep the flow going.  Riding trees and powder sometimes its about momentum, maintaining float and keeping our line in check.  This will be a camp to remember, if you think 4 days is too short then we will run a 2 day splitboard workshop straight afterwards so could be the best way to keep the stoke flowing.
