I'm not asking anyone to give up their secret stashes (unless you really want to) but when you know there is a big storm coming and you get up nice and early and see 15 inches of freshies (sorry east-coasters) on the snow report, what's the place you've got in your mind before you even leave the house.

Well, I usually head straight for the steepest glades I can find, build a booter, hit it once, it the landing fill up with more snow (if its still dumping), then head out and ride whatever is snowy

In Japan - Straight up to the top of Hanazono in Niseko, then down the trees next to the lift, then to Strawberry fields.
In NZ - Mid station bowl at Remarks until the chutes open, then the chutes. Think it will be a pow day tomorrow! :)

yeah it's really flat. but it's worth it. they don't have the gnarliest shit ever, but it's so much fun and there is no one there. ever. it may as well be a pow day every day.

Forecast is for it to be pretty good! I am so bored of closed days now. I was pretty stoked on the first because I was hungover and didn't want to work, now I am sick of it!
