Got everything from super sick riding, good tunes, to a bit of Japan, Head Love… otsukare sama deshita!

End of February Christophe Schmidt, Fredrik Evensen and Shayne Pospisil went Asahidake in Japan to meet up with Masaomi Harada. Because of the great snow conditions it was possible to film this clip in 7 days. Enjoy!

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

This Video has the best powder for 2011 with some cool lines, deep powder and great cinematography. After watch this we here at Niseko Snow say bring back the powder. What do you think?

Check the avalanche at the end to get a check and be careful out there. The backcountry is looking good now as is most of the mountain.

We recommend also watching the Fine Line teaser and if at all possible the whole thing. The movie has won multiple awards.

ENJOY….. the things we do while we wait….

Malakai Snowflake lyrics

How Many Times have you gone below?
Hangin’ around those seats and back rows
Where nobody’s eyes can see what you know
Who’s under the coat your wondering?
So many times I’ve seen my shadow
Hovering over that sweetness I know
When all of a sudden I’ve needs from below
Who’s there for me now, I’m hungering

Calling out for Love

Take that Snowflake, you can’t do it right
I know what I want and I’m not too proud to shout it
Hit that road if you can’t put it right
I know what I want, I want off this roundabout

How many of our dark secrets are told
Under the cover of sheets and bedrolls
Where all of our fantasies can unfold
While the rest of the world’s slumbering
Down on my bended knees and elbows
Chewing over that sweetness I know
When all of a sudden I’ve needs from below
Somewhere in the dark I’m mumbling

Calling out for Love

Take that Snowflake you can’t do it right
I know what I wan’t and I’m not to proud to shout it
Hit that road if you can’t put it right
I know what I want, I want off this roundabout
