TR/Vid: Niseko & surroundings, february 2013 (SJ Giveaway)


Recommended Posts

Last winter i spent the whole month of February in Niseko, always forgot to publish the report, thanks to SnowJapan i won a daily ticket for Hirafu, i don't have a specific report from that day, it was my last one so it was kinda sad, didn't want to leave at all!!

I can just say the whoe trip has been epic, in fact it's been so epic i'll be back this winter :)

I spent most of the time in Niseko, mostly Hanazono and Annupuri off the gates. The back bowls and the ridges off gate 5 are simply insane!! But i've been lucky enough to meet some local that brought me to other peaks, Rusutsu, Chise backcountry, Kiroro BC, Yotei.

I don't have great pics, i was so concerned about slashing and spraying pow i didn't even put out my dslr, the few pics are from my point'n shoot. Same with my gopro, riding with the pole was too boring, i just got some random shot.

 

Here's some shot from the trip:

Yotei view

Once again thank you SnowJapan for the free pass, it saved my last day, my 21 days pass was long gone so i'd probably had stayed at home packing stuff and spilling tears without it.

I'll try to get a better coverage of my Japowder adventures this winter, really can't wait to get back!!

Yes it looks like i'll be in Rishiri, the mission is not 100% confirmed yet depending on my local friends but i should go. The dates for Rishiri are from 8th till 12th, if i go i'll stay in Niseko a bit less then 30 deys but that island place looks so good....

I thin i'll go to Rusutsu a couple of times the time window is just two days but who knows... If i'll be in Rusutsu from 6th February on i'll send you a pm, it would be definitely good to catch up!
