Kandatsu King Freestyle - March 3 & 4

Kandatsu Kogen Ski Resort is a popular one with the locals as it is a pretty well kept secret. They put a lot of effort into their terrain park, they have a great mogul run and some of the steepest runs in Yuzawa which are great in the fresh snow. You can now become King of Kandatsu, at least for a weekend, at their freestyle weekend on Saturday 3rd and Sunday 4th Marchv- Kandatsu King.

Two days, two different events. There is prize money on offer and you can compete in a couple of different classes, including a beginner class if you are just starting out on your freestyle career. Spaces are limited so you need to get your application in to secure your spot.

If you are in Yuzawa that weekend, don't forget it is the Yuzawa Snow Festival on the night of Saturday 3rd.

As spring approaches there are lots of events coming up at the ski resorts. The weather gets nicer, the temperatures warmer and it is a great time to be out in the mountains, even if you are just hanging out and watching. The park is a bit softer as well so if you wanted to have a crack at those jumps...
