We got a bit of sand blow over from Siberia which made all the snow go brown and slow but now it is back to white as I write. A few good night sessions were had a few weeks backs and also a few spring park days too! Hope you enjoy the pictures and come back soon……

So we decided to get out and take a few photos for a friend who wrote us a great article. Until we publish that article please enjoy our photos. yoroshiku

We hit the road early-ish and were on the slopes with our Hokkaido Ski Season Net passes by a quarter to nine. It was negative 13 and snow still falling and we were amped and in anticipation to see what was ahead.

We hit the Asari side of the hill first up and straight of the top found fresh lines on/off piste in wind loaded and protected  spots. Back to the top for more we circuited the Asari chair for the morning with a short break at the Asari View Restaurant for a teri chicken mayo man and to warm the feet, it was cold.

The afternoon saw Brian, Sofie and myself check the other side of the resort out and to our surprise scored freshies deep n bottomless in some unassuming places following lines of other riders. With a quick circuit back on the other side to some more “out of the way spots”, more fresh lines  were enjoyed until we were out of time and hopped on the home run chair and then the road home. Fun times! and definitely worth a check again, till next time… enjoy the vid and pics

Off piste is still pretty dense with sasa even after a good week of snow fall. The two below photos were taken Tuesday and the rest were taken Friday.
