I remember when i used to live in niigata's country side we would get so much snow you couldnt get through the front door. You had to exit through the upstairs window.

Well I just locked in 6 weeks in Hokkaido for next year. Fly out from sydney on jan 20 so my first day on the slopes will be jan 22.
I am going car danchi style and roaming all the resorts in Hokkaido chasing the powder and new riding experiences. Will definately be in Rusutsu the first week of feb for the meetup. I did hope to get down into Honshu but that may not happen now unfortunately.

Hey ETM,

good to hear your trip is booked even if its just Hokkaido.

My advice, take some Japanese lessons now and get as much Japanese down as possible before you come, just asking directions and shopping skills will make your trip way more fun and less stressful.

It'll be amazing. Hows the snow down there at the moment?

Got any of your boards out on the snow yet?
