rode teine this morning. maybe 15cm of so. i did one run and left. its funny how little interest i have in riding resort now. motorshow wasnt much better. very small, bit of a waste. -

Summited Chisenupurri today in a complete whiteout. Lots of Japanese out today, they love slowshoes so much even the skiers use them! I did however see my first Japanese Splitboarder, a girl too. In Kiroro now, looking at Yoichidake for tomorrow. -

Nice one snowbum, what was the weather like up there? Seemed to be shrouded in snow clouds all day.....whilst Niseko had none besides bad visibility, no wind, not cold. I didnt stick around long, just long enough to ride into and skin out of crater -

so i summited yotei. rode into the crater but it was pretty white. actually found it relatively easy, i started at 6.30 and summited a bit after 10. there were tons of skin tracks to follow which made things quite easy as well as steps from bootpack at the top. i want to have a go from another aspect, any suggestions on which one to go for next? -
