Crazy Snow Camp 2015
From Moguls to Massage. Awesome snow fun and crazy group games. We enjoyed a magic week in the mountain winter!
The Crazy Snow Camp is a real winter adventure!
We will be in a simple mountain hut right at the slopes in an exciting skiing area in Central Switzerland, thus not in a village but on the mountain, and you can only get there by going up with the cable car or ski lifts and then ski, snowboard or walk to the hut. In the evening we will organise crazy group games, we'll cook and eat together, enjoy the sauna etc. In the daytime there will be flash mob style assignments – and a lot of snow fun, obviously.
All Snow Sporters Unite! Perfect skiing/snowboarding; nordic skiing, snow shoe hiking… and then relax in the sauna!

Activities
In the daytime most of us will be skiing or snowboarding. This can be individually but we will do some things as a group also. In previous Crazy Snow Camps it turned out that the participants enjoy shredding the slopes together, teaching each other some ski/board skills, etc. This Crazy Snow Camp is good for beginners and for experienced skiers. Right in front of the house there are nordic skiing (langlauf/cross country) trails as well as snow shoe trails.
Please keep in mind that SNOW comes from NATURE so there is no guarantee for the amount of snow that will be there and for example no guarantee that these trails will be open and that all lifts will be working.
Also we will be doing some simple, fun creative flash-mob style assignments – and don't worry if you are not a creative person, you will surprise yourself.
At the end of the day and in the evenings we will be automatically together (theoretically you could ski to the village but there will be no way of getting back to our hut in the evening) so we will make our own après ski! This will start with cooking, eating and cleaning together. There will be crazy group games, yoga-ish stuff and so on. And let's not forget the unique Crazy Camp Mountain Sauna!
Free ski instruction at the Crazy Snow Camp?
A very experienced skier with pedagogic skills volunteered to give some peer-to-peer help to other Crazy Snow Camp participants who want it :-) Incredible added value!
Location
Our mountain hut is at an altitude of 1300m and right at the slopes (ski-in/ski-out). The ski area is not super big and not super small. There are several ski lifts, chair lifts and cable cars. Mainly blue and red slopes but also some black and ski routes. Total vertical drop is around 1.200m (1.700m if the slope all the way to the village is open, but that's not all too often).
The hut can be reached over a black slope, a red slope and over an easy 'skiweg', and to get away from the hut you'll have to use a towbar ski lift. That makes this Crazy Snow Camp not suitable for absolute beginners.
Accommodation
The mountain hut is made of wood and consists of two dorm rooms, a kitchen/living/dining area, a toilet and shower. The location is amazing, on a small plateau with forests around, far away from the villages with only some odd huts as neighbours. After breakfast: take your skis or snowboard and you'll be the first on the slopes!
In the house clothing is optional, except in the sauna [faq]. In general you will have very limited privacy. No smoking in the house. Bring a sleeping bag! And there will be the unique Crazy Camp Mountain Sauna – the perfect way to relax mind & muscles.
Couples
If you are a couple, please understand that in the Crazy Snow Camp you can not behave like a couple. You can get neighbouring beds in the dorm if you want (in general the beds are allocated through a lottery [faq]) but apart from that, you are expected to participate in all activities and group life as individuals and not as a couple. So be prepared to sit each at the opposite end of the group table during dinner, and accept that someone else than yourself might be giving a salt scrub to your partner in the sauna.
Snow sports
Our mountain hut is at an altitude of 1300m and right at the slopes (ski-in/ski-out). The ski area is not super big and not super small. There are several ski lifts, chair lifts and cable cars. Blue, red and black slopes; ski routes etc. Total vertical drop is almost 2.000m. That is huge!
Right at our doorstep is a ski lift with a beginners slope as well as nordic skiing tracks and good snowshoe possibilities. That makes this Crazy Snow Camp the place to be for all snow lovers, not just skiers and snowboarders!
Cost
The deal
If we fill 10 places, the price is EUR 315 per person for accommodation and the food that we will prepare together (breakfast, dinner). That is cheap!
