Taking advantage of a discounted stay at SnowWorld Hotel, Da Bai organized a fun and productive weekend training camp.
Our group of 20+ participants, including skiers / snowboarders from the Netherlands and Germany (even one who took the train all the way from Frankfurt!), all gained new skills and experiences.
Despite unexpected challenges—like the nationwide NS strike—everyone persevered, finding alternative transport (shoutout to FlixBus for the €20 one-way ticket to Aachen! Pro tip: Don’t forget your passport/ID). The bus was comfy with charging ports and tables, though a €3 seat reservation is wise to avoid motion sickness from backward-facing seats.
After two intense days of training, the camp wrapped up with new friendships, improved techniques, and tons of stoke—great job, everyone! Now, let’s relive the trip through some highlights!
Public Transport
Due to the nationwide NS strike, we had to take a FlixBus to Aachen – turns out it was quite budget-friendly at just €20 one-way! (Pro tip: Don't forget your passport/ID).
The bus was supposed to depart at 6:00 PM but only arrived in Rotterdam by 7:00 PM. Overall, the ride was comfortable with charging ports and fold-down tables. If you're prone to motion sickness, it's worth spending an extra €3 to reserve a forward-facing seat – getting stuck in a backward-facing one can be uncomfortable!
Late-Night Arrival & Taxi Transfer
We arrived at Aachen Bus Station at 10:40 PM and hopped into pre-booked taxis to SnowWorld Landgraaf—super convenient at just €8-10 per person. By 11:00 PM, we finally made it to the hotel!
After all the travel chaos, what better way to unwind than with a well-deserved drink. Cheers to the start of an epic ski weekend!
(Pro tip: Pre-arranging taxis saves time, especially for late arrivals!)
