Round 2!

 

The snow kept falling through the week so I went back to Asahidake on Sunday (4/21).

Totally different weather from last time, I'll let the photos do the talking.

Perfectly clear conditions until around noon, then some high clouds rolled in, but visibility was practically unlimited all day. We got to explore most of the ropeway serviced terrain, accessing fresh runs all day. A 20 minute hike to the skier's left of the ropeway station got us to a beautiful ridge with a decently long line with perfectly spaced trees. We hit several pillows and drops as well, including a nice ~15 footer on skier's right of the ropeway.

The snow was spectacular in the morning, turning a bit slushy in the afternoon. The cattracks were getting somewhat icy near the end of the day as the temperature dropped.

Nonetheless, an amazing day regardless of the time of the year. I'm glad I got to enjoy Asahidake in perfect visibility.
