Once again, YOUR TSC is offering a trip of a lifetime.
Imagine skiing the same slopes at Nagano-Hakuba, Japan, as the most skillful skiers
did in the 1998 Winter Olympic Games!!
Or imagine seeing the famous “Bird's Nest” or natatorium where
Michel Phelps won his world record 8 gold medals for the United States.
Sign up for Japan
and the post trip to
Beijing
and you can be a part of this special group while joining your
friends with TSC and your local club.

It includes five glorious nights and six days in
Hakuba, Japan.
While there you will be able to ski the Hakuba valley.
From one end of the valley to the other, and with 10 resorts

There is terrain to satisfy the novice to the expert skier.
State of the art lifts and gondolas and excellent

Matsumoto castle, Zenkoji Temple
and the snow monkeys at Jigokudani Hot Springs round out other alpine
adventures in the region.
