skied takinokoyama today, south of minami furano. we ascended 1980m and 14km in distance. a personal record for me, a huge day. it was bluebird sunny and excellent powder, the best bc day so far.

havent had the chance to get up to asahidake. got a deep resort day in at kamui ski links on saturday super deep super windy bc day at tokachidake on sunday where we ascended another 1500m. fun mellow day at tomamu today where we rode off the back and skinned back around for a few laps. (i will definitely be coming back here with my free pass from sj and do a report) another bc day tomorrow, undecided where. more vids and pics to come when i have more time

im generally 3rd behind 2 road bike racers who think is a ski mountaineering race lol. ocean is pretty choppy today, ferry might be cancelled and we might have to just do another day of skiing here instead

ascended 1500m today in heavy powder but had lots of great skiing. pretty worked. luckily tomorrow is a travel day.

Its been very difficult to take good pics on Rishiri due to the brutal weather. Its snowing heavily today, so we will be limited again on what we can do. We are catching the ferry back tomorrow and off to asahidake

i had the same experience with nozawa, it takes a little while to really grow on you. its all about the sidecountry

ok cool

My poles have had it. Can anyone suggest a good place on Hokkaido, Sapporo, Asahikawa or whereever really (online too) I can purchase some for a reasonable price?

it was about a 4 hour round trip, the difficult part was breaking trail in 30cm deep powder which ive never done before. a few mount rishiri videos coming soon. we have had some brutal weather, windy, white, cold, tiny bit of sun. but the skiing has been incredible.

yeah

bit of a solo mission today. summited mount pon, snow was great, about 20cm or so. the weather is going to be pretty brutal the next few days so theres no chance of summiting rishiri, the plan is to play around at 800metres on the north face

ok sure

Things get a bit serious tomorrow...guess where im going drove past this little place

yeah so so, but i think its a bit to do with the gear theyre using too!

Nayoro Piyashiri.

yes my gf flies home friday so the shredding will resume. i did the drive to shiretoko from obihiro and id say it was about 4-5 hours stopping every now and then. we didnt actually see much sea ice, well the big chunks anyway, we saw small ice, but id say its definitely worth going out there, its been my favourite part of hokkaido fwiw

discovered this little gem while driving around the shiretoko peninsula. the views were incredible. i cant find any information on the place, it doesnt seem to be listed no sj?

i thought the view yesterday was quite nice.

me 3.
