Method 0 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 ... sat in an onsen (quietly ignoring the fact that there are old naked men near you) with a couple of tins of [insert name of your favourite alcoholic bevvy here] and seen the exact line you took down some of hokkaido's finest epic fluffiness... http://vimeo.com/35493046 The onsen at Hakuginsou looking up at Tokachidake Niseko is just a small hill compared to this! Hakuginsou looking down from the Volcano Near the top of the Volcano Made it to the top of the volcano! Just another average morning cleaning the snow off your car in Hokkaido in January! Mmmm, the journey down... Just my glove! More fluffy goodness! Token skier shot for you 2 plankers... Link to post Share on other sites

gozaimaas 61 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Sick! The first song had me going out of my mind trying to recall it but its chemical bros. How long did it take to get up? How long did it take to get down? Link to post Share on other sites

Mick Rich 78 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Sweet!!!!!!!!!! When someone asks you what your idea of a perfect day is, I guess that would be about it, unless of course it was a mixed onsen and the Japanese women's national snowboarding/skiing team [delete according to preference] rolled up!

Method 0 Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 Sick! The first song had me going out of my mind trying to recall it but its chemical bros. How long did it take to get up? How long did it take to get down? Yes, 1st track on the video is chemical bros. To the top of the volcano (which is not the top of tokachidake, but close) it took about 2-3 hours from hakuginsou (onsen/hotel). We did 2 laps of the volcano, if you got there early you could easily crank out 4 descents as you are not going all the way to the bottom each time (unless you like flat, deep powder). Descent took all of a few minutes, the top section of the volcano is naturally quite icy as it's exposed and we only really went to the top of crater just for the experience, not the snow. Lower down where it's less exposed the snow was really nice. The ski back to the car was mega flat, but that's where skiers suddenly become your best friends and cut you a nice track!

ippy 66 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 see! now thats how you do furano! Actually speaking of youve never lived and onsens... Youve never lived until you turn up to a sento that hasnt been redecorated since the 60s, has gokiburi running around it, has a chilli bath, and has an old man edging closer to you (to practice his english no doubt), who suddenly ends up right next to you jerking his little naughty bits and trying to touch your thigh. Should you find yourself in hamamatsu anytime, i advise a trek to baden baden. Link to post Share on other sites
