WORLD MOGUL. CAMP 26' HAKUBA to be held for the 4th time at Able Hakuba Goryu

For children with a future: "Eyes shining! Hearts leaping!"

For adults who work hard: "Excitement!"

This event is a project that began with the desire to provide an opportunity for Japanese skiers, mogul athletes/kids, and mogul enthusiasts to "see the real thing, feel their hearts race, and work hard towards their dreams" by inviting Milan-Cortina medalists and World Cup athletes for lessons and interaction. This will be the fourth season the event is held at Hakuba Goryu, with various activities taking place over two days on April 4th (Sat) and 5th (Sun). It is a valuable opportunity for top athletes who know the pinnacle of the world to foster the future together with the children of Hakuba through "skiing" and "dialogue."

Four athletes, including Milan-Cortina gold, silver, and bronze medalists and top-ranked World Cup athletes, will gather for on-snow lessons, workshops, and competition events. In addition, on the evening of April 4th, a joint workshop with Goldwin Camp will be held at the Inoac Corporation Hakuba Office, where guest athletes and participants will engage in group discussions to consider what it means to live as an athlete.

This event is organized by 72plan Co., Ltd., which manages the mogul course "GORYU BUMPS" within Able Hakuba Goryu. It is a dream-like opportunity for mogul fans to see top athletes gathered in Hakuba. The previous three events attracted over 800 participants and more than 1,000 spectators, making it a flagship spring skiing event that has been widely covered by the media. Especially in 2026, with multiple mogul competitions held worldwide and the World Cup returning to Japan (Nanto City, Toyama Prefecture) for the first time in four years, it is an unparalleled season for mogul skiing. We hope to showcase the appeal of moguls that can be enjoyed until spring, even in a low-snow season.

The event also aims to foster development through sports from Hakuba, encouraging participants to think about their future selves and contributions to society, rather than just passively "being taught."
