Easy access to the slopes with walking or a bus. Festival was family-friendly, full of fun entertainment. The bar afterward was great as well! Slopes were in good condition up top, especially. It is a great place to ski for beginners or advanced people, too. Staff, as always, did a great job.

I want to personally thank Keiji for teaching me how to do tricks and giving genuinely helpful advice on how to improve! Also the vibes from the organizers were the best <3 (as always)

Amazing trip. The vibes were so good and the guides made it so much fun. Evening party on Saturday with the fireworks, torch skiing, live band, and nightclub was a huge highlight. Even without great snow, this was the best TSC trip I’ve been on yet!
