Nikita Iceland Park Project From Graham,... They think it’s all over….it is now! The Nikita Iceland Park Project finishes its 5th year. First and foremost we want to say thanks to our sponsor Nikita, our media partners Onboard, SCUK and Hot-Zone and all the guests who have come out to IPP over the years to make the camp what it is. No other place on earth, it offers landscape and activities that are truly original and certainly not found in any other snowboard camp. Hopefully we will see you next year to check it all out.
