Europe
Europe boasts of the world’s most renowned skiing destinations, including France, Switzerland, Italy, and Austria. In addition, European boarding schools in ski resorts offer programs designed explicitly around skiing and snowboarding. Studying at one of the best European ski boarding schools allows you to spend more time skiing than you would otherwise since the school buildings are on or near the ski slopes.
Asia
Asia offers several destinations for those looking for a boarding school with a ski program. Though skiing is not popular in South Korea, a few mountains outside Seoul attract keen boarders. Hong Kong’s winter season is brief, but Tai Mo Shan, a 2,200-meter peak, is used by world-class athletes as a warm-up. Hakuba Valley in Nagano Prefecture, along Japan’s eastern coast, has been famous among Tokyoites since it hosted the 1998 Winter Olympics.
